I was thinking about writing an app that would do that, now I guess I don't have to.

Of course, I just tried it and it doesn't seem to work right. When you choose your computer, the menu pops up for 1 second, then it goes back to the menu to choose what computer to control. I haven't had time to troubleshoot it at all.

Thats odd. I have been testing it for a few weeks and never saw that problem. Had plenty of others, but not that. Let me know if you are still having problems, or better still, post over at the Romeo forum ( http://www.irowan.com/forum )
