If someone cannot get up to reach the DVD player, what good is the ability to eject the DVD, unless it is to simply watch the DVD drawer go in and out?

Guess the manufacturers 'heard' what you've had to say, as this 'particular' button seems to no longer exist most remotes today.

Perfectly stated. It even gets worse when people add the "home entertainment center" to the mix. Last year I was babysitting for my brother-in-laws kids. He had three remotes there: one for the cable box, one for the tv, and one for the stereo amplification system. I touched one wrong button, and after about 30 minutes of fiddling with it (making it worse actually), i never got to watch tv or listen to the stereo again. You can't babysit without TV, you just can't. Then he comes home and says.... dude, it's easy all you have to do is hit this {insert special button}, and go to this menu and choose {kill me}, then on the sony remote hit {somebody get me a beer}..... Kapusta,
