Considering the Tandy 1100FD vs. the Panasonic 150CFB (?) :
  I've read that backlit screens are not very reflective when the
backlighting is turned down or off, so non-backlit screens are easier
to read outside (in daytime :-) than backlit screens.  Can anyone
comment on this?  How about in a well lit room, or at a desk with a
lamp?  Does a relective screen do just as well as a backlit in these
cases?
