LOL..use it in a dark room, depending on the webpage you browse, (light/dark) it dims/brightens the screen (sort of a feedback system thru the light sensors, LOL)

yeah, i know what you mean; it is interesting, but take ssome getting used to. the first few days it worries you because your screen flickers (smoothly mind you), but then you become accustomed. also, it does interesting things when someone walks past or you cast a shadow when you wave your hand or stand up (depending on where your light source is). fun stuff though, and I love the keyboard light overall, as I have not mastered touch typing. couldn't go back now, and I can't wait to try it at the campus library while surfing via Airport Extreme. . .
