Hi,

I have a suggestion relating to the id’s of the computer, so basically I think it would be cool if instead having to send a rednet message using the computers id you can use the label you have set. For example: rednet.send(“lights”, “ON”). This would just make it easier to remember instead of having to remember the id of the computer.

In CC 1.6 and above protocols and hostnames were introduced to the rednet API to solve this kind of problem.
