Hi, yes.
I have a little bit of usable vision so, I turned my screen brightness up to 100%. Next, I went to settings/general/accessibility and inverted the colors and turned on the screen curtain. When you do this, you can see light from the display clearly. hth Ricardo Walker [email protected] Twitter:@apple2thecore www.appletothecore.info On May 7, 2013, at 6:52 AM, Nicholas Parsons <[email protected]> wrote: > I wondered about that.
