- I have found that the old, tried-and-true public domain program
- DIMMER.COM is perfectly effective with NB. I have a version which I
- have modified slightly (with the author's permission) and would be
- willing to share. I have removed the frills, bells and whistles and
- reduced it to a simple screen blanker that blacks out the screen
- either after a specified interval or when both shift keys are struck
- simultaneously, and that is also sensitive to mouse activity as well
- as keyboard activity. I have not found any program that it conflicts
- with. My modifications removed the conflict it had with NB's keyboard.
