Yes, I realize that the description says this is for the ASUS driver to flash a LED provided in that system. But it seem an obvious extension to have this add-on flash a LED that is on the keyboard, like making the ScrollLock LED flash. Then the user gets a flashing LED on *any* brand computer to notify them of a new e-mail, even if the screen saver has activated and maybe even if the host has gone into standby power mode. In fact, to make it even more noticable, the NumLock, CapsLock, and ScrollLock LEDs could all be flashed but in succession to make the effect ripple through them. Alternatively, just make the one LED (probably ScrollLock) flash a configurable number of times, like 3 times at 1-second intervals with a 30-second interval, so the user sees the pattern to know why the LED is flashing that way.
