Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2002 08:53:26 -0700 (PDT) Well as I posted ( to no response ) yesterday, I maintain that we could cover both by having two types of backlight settings: 1) press a button, it turns on for a certain amount of time and then goes off, 2) press a specific button to turn the light on indefinitely, and then press it again to turn it off. I personally prefer to avoid undue backlight-turning-on, especially in bright light, outdoors for example, or when it's a simple volume adjustment. To continue my rant, this also has advantage when playing a game; why would you want the backlight to turn off when you're in the middle of playing sokoban and considering what move to make for 10 seconds? -Doug --- Uwe Freese <mail_at_uwe-freese.de> wrote: > Hello Claudio, > > Claudio Sabia wrote on Thursday, August 29, 2002, 3:19:56 PM: > > CS> 3.
