Tiger only hintMy new iMac G5 received a vCard sent from my phone -- through the Apple-shaped infrared port on the front! I just thought I'd try it, to see if the thing only cared about the Apple remote. But to my surprise, it worked. Now how to send stuff from the computer...

I am submitting this because I really can't find anyone talking about this on the web, and it is a big deal (I think). I felt IrDA was a sad loss from the Apple lineup, and now it seems to be back in some manner at least, just completely unpublicised. Hope you find this interesting!
