Q: Does remote work with MacBookAir?

I can't seem to be able to activate Front Row on a 2nd gen MBA with the remote... The remote works fine with an iMac and older Macbook. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Boy, Apple sure hasn't made it easy to figure that out with the IR receiver missing from every tech spec on the hardware pages. Doing a quick search at the online store, however, lists the current Apple remote as an available peripheral for each of the MacBook Pro models but it's missing from the MacBook air store pages. It would seem Apple left it out to save room. You can still run Front Row using the keyboard commands.
