If you've got a Palm III (or a palm pilot equipped with a IR port), theres' a program called OmniRemote made by Pacific Neo-Tek (http://www.pacificneotek.com/) that'll turn your palm into a remote. The nice thing is that it's cheap, the neat thing is that it runs off your palm, and the even-neater-than-neat thing is that instead of coming with a long list of manufacturers IR codes, it reads the functions off your remote control. Say, to program it to control your DVD player, you'd create a new category called 'DVD Player', place a power button on screen, click the power button, then point your remote control at the palm's IR port and press the power button on it. Voila! It's an awsome product. Really cool.
It is my understanding (thanks to the Discovery channel) that the brain doesn't store a whole memory, or anything like that, but breaks down experiences into individual items related to that experience, like the smell, the sight, the sounds, which are all stored in their respective areas in the brain. Kind of like one big ole' associative array, I guess.

I had the same problem, and this thing set me up.
