I fully agree, I have a white backlight in my Newton 2100 and I'm not
as pleased with it as I would have hoped. When I purchased the unit
off eBay it wasn't listed as having a replacemed back-light but I was
happy to try it out. Now I realize why they stuck with the green
color, the white only works in low-light situations where the green
would help in any situation.
