The problem is the EL backlight.       Replace the EL film (which is quite dim on most Stacys anyway by now)       with a sheet of reflective film and some LEDs. This will improve the       backlight and reduce the power consumption significantly.              --              /*       ** Jo Even Skarstein http://joska.nvg.org/       */              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
