Magazine, May 1999 Data projectors and other presentation devices usually include a remote-control device that performs basic mouse and control functions.
Standard remotes are better than nothing, but they often fail in the cursor-control department.
On the other hand, the FreedomWriter PRO offers a touchpad for precise cursor control, a set of touch controls for scrolling and panning, and eight programmable command keys. The Interlink FreedomWriter Pro even gives you the ability to annotate and highlight presentations on the fly. The wedge-shaped unit weighs 13 ounces and is comfortable to hold. It responds to a finger or the included stylus. Interlink's Remotelink Technology communicates with the host PC using infrared-wave technology, rather than bursts of infrared light.
