    Alright i am pretty close to releasing the latest screen shots of the application I am working on and on the low level end a few other people as well, Predator_MF, StarFox and the rest of the asus owners pitching in testing and information.

    I need a name, suggestions welcome but here is what I am working with so far. The original joke name is "InDirect Console" its free of the ASUS name and recognizable as well as open to configuring it for non asus notebooks without confusion. However the work InDirect is a little... eh! Going off ASUSNBKeys, I might want to name it ASUS Notebook Tool short ASUSNBTool. The name makes it seem limited to ASUS though in the end it isnt in several of its functions but ASUS will have the majority of the support. I dont like using the ASUS name for reasons of say... ASUS lol.

    Anyways post your suggestions and or cast a vote.

    NBR's Direct Console :D. I think you should give the honor to the ones on NBR who have worked hard to release it.

    I'm sorry :D. But stouf is a member here, isn't he? It's just the name. If you name it ASUS's something, maybe ASUS wil ask you the right to use its name. And when you name it NBR's, generic users will know where to ask for support. But just ask NBR's admins first.

    InDirect

    Catchy, and a nice spin on one of ASUS' names for a program that should work!

    DirectConsoleX2?
    ConsoleX2?

    It's related to your user name, and gives the feeling of improvement over the original. :)
