We like the compact idea...when you need it, it's right there...when you
don't, then you turn it off...at least it's not in the way of anything, and
I think it would be a good idea to memorize where the keys are. I have
this problem with no light on the calc when the teach turns all the lights
off for a video see, and when you pull out this huge gameboy light thing,
1) you'd look like an idiot with everyone staring at you (at least with the
watch stuff, it looks inconspicuous and like you're reading the time ... ;)
and 2) the teach might think you're playing with a gameboy (...to a certain
degree that may be true...;) So I think the compact idea's got more pluses
than cons.

: I think a game boy light attachment idea is much better than most of you
: realize. A couple people who stayed at our house left an old Game Boy
: attachment thingy that I found a couple weeks ago. It has 2 sterio
: speekers, a magnifier, and a light. Best of all, with a light outside
: the casing it would spred a bit to the keypad so you can see this to (my
: guess is that since the game boy has a couple buttons, they may have
: made it this way). There are a couple down sides. It is a bit big for
: the calc, so it would have to have something added to it to make it fit.
: It has the wrong speeker jack, halfway between the regular and mini
: jacks. And it runs off of the power of the gameboy (that could be
: solved by putting a small bettery with a transformer somewhere). This
: would be a lot easier and safer than screwing around in the inside of
: the calc. I hope this helps.
