My last post seems to have left some things unclear, so let me try to clear
them up...

The LCD displays that I'm talking about are sold by Timeline Inc., at (800)
872-8878.  I also noticed that they now sell the 16x1 displays at 3 for $25...
$8.33 each.  They also have a little notice "Some models are blacklit,
call for more details..." so they must now be aware of this "feature" too.

All Electronics sells, for $3.50, a back light (electroluminescent panel and
inverter) from an early model of a Citizen hand held LCD TV.  The inverter from
this back light can be used to power the back lights of many LCD displays,
and it a lot cheaper than the upwards of $15-$20 that many places want for
an inverter alone.

I hope that clears some things up... I've been unable to respond to everyone's
mail messages because CAE's mail server here isn't the greatest and some
mail has bounced.
