Heh, that's the size of most remotes for high end Home Theater equipment. I've got a bunch myself that I replaced with a nice universal one. They always make for a great bat to bludgeon a burglar with though.

:lol: Agree the older Laser Remotes are huge, especially the top loader era ones.

Yeah this one was a front loader. I should really look into getting a laser disc player at one point if I can ever find one.
