Added script (see AutoHotkey section on right) to prevent accidental escape-key bonkage(yes, that's the technical term).

Swapped out the tv in my cabinet with another one (it was the living room tv until recently), and I can't believe the difference. The large discolored patch I was unable to degauss away is, of course, not present, but more importantly the screen is so much more clear! I had assumed that the blurriness I was seeing on the old tv (a Zenith) was a function of using a television instead of a monitor, and I was prepared to just live with it. I can read text easily now, and the picture's just incredible. All I can say is "wow." I'll get comparison pictures up as soon as I can find a spare s-video cable and a camera.

I've been having a grand old time with AutoHotkey. I have so far created:

• A user-friendly GUI front end for DancingMonkeys for my wife
• 5 wrappers for pc programs that needed key remapping and so forth
• A coin counter almost identical to this one here but with a few modifications I needed.
• and a replacement shell that launches MameWAH, the coin counter, and VolumeTray by looking for apps in an .ini file

AutoHotkey is regularly updated, has a strong and helpful user community, and an incredibly responsive developer. And it's free.
