For years Palm users have used the backlit Palms for just the same
purpose... It reminds me of the line in the movie "Big Business" where
the conglomerate is selling jet fiters to african tribes who don't know
how to fly them. When asked what they (the tribes) do with them, it is
explained that the two warring tribes point them at each other and roll
them down the hill at the opposing tribe.

Technology *is* great!
