First of all this actually powers the computer on and off. Sounds like your little script activates the screensaver? Uhh...your joking right? Yeah, that could never be accomplished on a wintel box. Sorry man, but you sit there with your limited amount of software and locked hardware. I will be happy in my blissful ignorance and wealth of options. Geez…mac users.
