[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1647856, member: 56379"] We all do. You can even do it in zero light!!!:) My wife had an older white MacBook a couple years ago. The white MacBooks don't have a backlit keyboard. I sold her 2009 white MacBook...and purchased a 2010 13" MacBook Pro specifically for the backlit keyboard. The 2010 MacBook Pro in most ways was really no better than the 2009 white MacBook (performance-wise)...it was all about the backlit keyboard!;) I actually made a profit on the deal. Sold the 2009 MacBook for $450...got the 2010 13" MacBook Pro for $400 (a couple years ago when it was worth closer to $600)!":) You need to use your iMac in a well lit room...and get a used MacBook Pro for the backlit keyboard benefits for other areas not so well lit!;) A 2010 13" MacBook Pro can be had for around $350-$400. Take the $99 for the external backlit keyboard + $300...and you got a whole 2nd computer!:) - Nick p.s. Of course I had my wife's permission to sell her 2009 MacBook...and get her the 2010 13" MacBook Pro!;) [/QUOTE]
