    Okay..  I just ripped my TI-85 apart to make the backlight..  everything
went well and I have the mirror LCD and everything seperate and all the
sticky stuff cleaned.  Now I just need to add the plexi-glass and LED's..
That's where my questions come in..  Do I need to use Plexi-glass??  How bout
a very thin piece of Mylar?  or is having it too thin a problem?  If so
what's the best size plexi-glass??  Also in what way do I sand it?  Up and
down, Left and right, or circular?  And what's the best type of LED's to
use..  I've heard Super-Bright Yellow LED's..   should I use standard size
LED's or mini-LED's??  and what is the best resistor value?  Or should I just
use a varible resistor?  If so what value should the varible be?   And last
but not least.. in what way do I like the LED's together to the power??
Ohhh..  and how many LED's are best?   Anyway..  any comments would be HIGHLY
appreciated..  thanks a bunch guys..
