    I am in love with my Alienwares on the fly button to turn off the mousepad, best invention ever, why is it not standard? Anyways... My friends are also loving it lol.. so I was wondering is there a program that can be hotkeyed to one of the F buttons to enable/disable the moue pad? Thanks.

    I had that on my previous Gateway - a Fn + Fx key - but not on my present one. However, my present Gateway can turn off all external lights on the computer body (power light, hard drive light, caps lock light, processor light, wi-fi light, battery light, etc), which is cool. Basically, if it's built into the BIOS, you're in luck. If not, you've got to look 3rd party.
