Wow! I wish I had that power with everyone!
A couple of issues though:
1. The buttons don't work inside programs :( (well not my programs anyway);
2. When I switch the NXT off while running NeXTscreen, garbage is displayed.
It'd be nice if it displayed a nice "NXT off" message or something;
3. When I start up the stand-alone version and the NXT is off, it silently
exits. It'd be nice if it displayed a message as above, or at least an info
message before exiting;
4. Is there any way to "wake up" the NXT via USB? If so, it'd be nice to be able
to click the PC on button to wake it up when it's off.
