Now you can transfer data between your ThinkPad with an infrared port and
a desktop computer quickly and efficiently using the JetEye PC's infrared
adapter. JetEye eliminates the need to use serial cables when you connect

functionality of your ThinkPad. And you can also increase your ability to
ge t things done. 

JetEye PC is a high speed, wireless data interface that provides a
"point-and-shoot" infrared connection for desktop computers, thus
