Caffeine -> no more screen dimming	Can't Post

I don't know how many of you take your MacBook (or MBP) to client presentations but for the longest time I would play a video and then have to touch the track pad every minute so the screen would not go dim. I tried to remember to turn this off but would always forget. The other time I don't like screen dimming is when I am watch a video on someone's site or reading a long thread.

Caffeine to the rescue.

Thanks Brian!

Some people don't seem to ever get their MPB's to stop dimming, even with the right settings, and it drives them nuts.
