In the reality off this, if one just left the Neo
Layout "As Is" and put in the device's out of the biult in database, then learned maybe a few codes that weren't in the datebase, you could have a Neo up and running great in a a couple hours.

Is a couple hours that much time now days? I think not! It is only when one comes to the point of wanting to make thier Neo original and start working with the Neo Edit software that the time frame buikds!

Who said that you need to even look at the Software?
Sure you could buy another remote with a Touch Screen for $100, but:

1) Can you lable the buttons?
2) Can you upload the learned codes? (even if that is all you use the software for!

3) Do you atleast have the option of changing the layout?

So even though the software isn't ready for Prime Time
I still think it is worth the extra $100 just to have the Options there to learn a new program and have the ablity to Upload & Download!

Again, if used striaght out of the box, the NEo wouldn't take more then 2 hours to make it fully usable with a system!!

To me, them 2 hours would be well worth a Neo,
after all, you have plenty of time to then paly around and work with NeoEdit and test things out on the Emulator!
