    Wanted to throw this out to this very knowledgable group

    I have an on-line music service but when I have it on and am away from my PC for a length of time, it times out.

    Anyone know of a good freeware program that will simulate mouse movement and/or key-strokes every so often to keep the service on? I know there are some out there but in looking at download.com it looks like they're more for running macros or something. In the past, years ago, I had one that would simply move the mouse eevry x minutes but I cannot recall what it was. Any ideas?

    I use a tiny (10KB) program called Caffe1ne at work sometimes to keep IT's security screensaver from kicking in when I step out of the office for awhile. Caffe1ne simulates a shift-key press every 59 seconds. Works great for my purpose; don't know about your music service, though. It sits in the tray; right-click to exit when you don't need it anymore.

    Available at most download places (softpedia, tucows, etc).
