That looks pretty cool for controlling MP3s in the car. I think I've seen this before. I wish he'd added a kay combination to control the volume too. And oh... Pres... I found "Screen blank.scr"... but it only projects a black screen, and doesn't turn off illumination. And Raymond... the whole argument of whether it's better to leave the LCD running all the time when the system is in use, or turn it on and off to increase it's life expectancy can go both ways. Another case of "both can be true at the same time" depending on conditions. Same for household light bulbs. If you leave a light bulb on constantly, it will run for W hours, but it will burn out in X days. If you�re constantly turning it on and off , it will run for Y hours, and will burn out in Z days. Moderation in each case should be the best determination of how long the longevity of the bulb in terms of the total number of days it will work before it burns out. By leaving it on all the time and never shutting it down may increase W, but shorten X. Not shocking it with the current and voltage of turning it on and off all the time will let it burn for more hours. But it will stay lit longer in terms of days over hours if you exercise moderation in the number of times you let it burn for long periods of time. If you are constantly turning a light on and off every few seconds, it experiences that damaging surge each time, shortening the number of days it will burn. But if you exercise moderation and only do this once every few months, you decrease Y but increase Z. At least these are the arguments from each side if the issue I've heard in the past. Then there's the argument that is associated with this sort of reasoning. Is truth relative? Is light a particle or a wave, or does it depend on the observer and the percentage probability of his/her observing the light at a particular time and position on the time/space continuum? And will a notebook screen last a longer or shorter period of time depending on how he/she interacts with the screen? If I take a 6 hour drive with a route programmed into SA, and turn the screen on and off for 1 minute every 2 hours, will this decrease the life of the bulbs more than if I left them burning for the entire 6 hours?
