Mark Grossmeyer is man known for his often unique and innovative gadgets, but he has really outdone himself with this one. Grossmeyer didn't own a clapper because he did not want to take up his wife while going to bed, so what did he do? Well, he reinvented the clapper and added a remote-control. Welcome the Clapper Plus. This is the same old clapper that will still recognize the sound of hands slapping together, but it also includes a remote control for more silent light-turning-off methods. The Clapper Plus should be appearing on infomercials at 4 a.m. soon.

Wanted to see if I could get some opinions out there...
I have HDTV (and my PC) connected to a Dell 2405FPW. When I watch movies on my PC, I can watch from across the room, bring my wireless keyboard with me, and before I go to bed, I can press the 'Sleep' button and the monitor goes into PowerMode essentially turning itself off.
I want to set up the monitor on a clapper like this so that when I'm watching HDTV I don't have to get out of bed and press the button on the monitor to turn it off; instead I can clap or use this remote.
Does anyone see any danger in plugging an LCD monitor into a clapper? I'm just worried that some kind of 'shut down' process or something needs to happen before it turns off. Any comments, or suggestions for a better way to do this?
I have a Dell LCD 2405FPW monitor. I watch TV on it, but don't have a way to turn it off unless I crawl out of bed to press the button.
Does anyone think that there is danger in using a Clapper like this to turn off an LCD monitor? Have a better way to do it?
I don't know that merely owning a clapper would prevent me from taking up my wife before bed.
"take up" his wife, eh?
I didn't know that that's what clapping does to sleeping people.
take up his wife hmmm...
It'd be funny if the clapper remote just played a recorded "clap" sound.
