I keep mine on for nostalgia. Back then, a backlight was a Big Thing I
suppose. Also, I personally, feel like I'm defacing it if I peel that
sticker off. Just a purist I suppose (or anal )^; )

I have an iPaq & a Palm, and I put Apple stickers on those (especially
the iPaq) so people don't the wrong idea that I'm a windows user or
something.
