Hi,
I just bought another Newton OMP and wanted to start reading on it. But unlike its younger brothers it has no backlight. I saw that Frank Gruendel had added a backlight to his. Is it possible to do that? Like what are the parts, what’s the process. How long does the battery last with the backlight? ETC, ETC. Of all the Newtons I own this is my favourite form factor. The Newton Message Pad 2100 is the favorite, but the 100, OMP feels just right in the hand!
Thanks,
Mark
