TI-H: EL Viewable - was: calc fixes... SOLUTION??? (:




I found it better to actually pull off the plastic, clean all the gummy stuff off
(both sides), and pu it back on (without the foil of course).  For me this made
the screen MUCH more visable with and without  the EL on.... I'm wondering if
it'll look any better if I do the front as well?
