Subj: REPLY TO MSG #6048 (BACKLIT)
Back, along time ago, when computing was inventive and fun, people across the land experimented freely with new ideas. One of those ideas, for Model "T's" was the backlit screen. Is this for the T100? Yes. As far as I know, a back lit unit was only available for the Model 100, not the 102 or 200. Internal? Yes, again. But after installing the backlit unit, you can not uninstall it. You must also install a light switch on the side, and I think there's something else. I don't have the unit in frond of me right now. Battery consumption? Probably more than stock but I don't know how much more. Cost? Don't know off hand. I'd have to go back through all the Portable 100 magazines and look for the ad. Don't have the time right now. I think it was something like $149 or something like that. I am probably wrong, so count on that figure. That's it for now.
