   I've seen a baclight retrofit (Axonic) for the T1000 advertised in Byte
for about $300 US, and a backlit screen (according to Canadian Consumer) from BTE Supply in
British Columbia for about $330 Canadian.
   I'm not sure whether the latter is a complete replacement screen or a
retrofit which necessitates sending the computer to BC for upgrading.
   My chief complaint with the T1000 is (of course) the barely legible
screen. Has anyone added a backlit screen ? Does it make a significant
difference ?? How severely does it affect battery life ?
   I will write to BTE Supply for additional information, but would 
appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone this route.
