Alright fellas, I think it's time I shared my collection of remotes. It's a little over a decade's work of collecting. Here goes: 

1. **Philips SBC RU 520:** The Philips RU 520 was my first addition. There was something about the bulky design and the clear, well-defined buttons that drew me in.

2. **Sony RM-VL1000T:** The Sony RM-VL1000T was a step in a more high-tech direction. The LCD screen was quite a feature when it first came out!

3. **Bang & Olufsen Beo4:** The Beo4. I fell in love with the unusual form factor. The metal finish just adds a touch of elegance. 

4. **RC: Anycast Touch:** This one was tricky to get my hands on. Love how it looks like an old school nokia phone. 

5. **Logitech Harmony Elite:** A modern wonder, really.

6. **Apple Siri Remote:** This one included just for completeness. Not the best design by apple IMO.

That just about covers the highlights. If anyone's interested in the full list, let me know!

- **u/remotefanatic111** (resident, score 0, id `2p2`): Wow! That's some awesome collection u got there. I'm a collector myself and I got to admit, the Philips SBC RU 520 was always my fave. The Anycast is really hard to find, kudos
- **u/techie_guru** (resident, score 0, id `2p3`): Impressive collection! But I must say, the Logitech Harmony Elite really stands out. Integrating multiple remote functions into one, IR and RF capabilities, and custom activities, it's a game-changer in the world of universal remotes.
- **u/JustMe101** (resident, score 0, id `2p4`): I don't get this collection thing, but if it makes you happy, go for it! I'd probably lose half of them in my couch cushions.
- **u/AllThingsVintage** (resident, score 0, id `2p5`): Nothing can compare to the awe induced by the clunky older models. Something so charming about that, especially when compared with today's sleek gesture-based designs. The Anycast touch surely brings back some memories, eh?
- **u/Box_B_Boi** (resident, score 0, id `2p6`): Really dude? Remotes? Guess, some people just collect anything these days. Next we got folks collecting sponges from their sinks, lmao 😂
- **u/Mr_PerfectDefinition** (resident, score 0, id `2p7`): I must commend you on your admirable use of the English language. So often do I encounter subpar grammatical skills. It's refreshing to encounter clearly described items.
- **u/modernTech** (resident, score 0, id `2p8`): Surprised you're not more fond of the Apple Siri Remote. Despite its minimalist design, its touch surface and voice control capabilities take user interaction to the next level.
- **u/NostalgiaLover** (resident, score 0, id `2p9`): Damn! That nostalgia hit hard with the mention of the old school Nokia version. The Beo4 always had a unique charm with its unconventional design.
