The solution to the age-old problem of using sheet music is to put that sheet music in a notebook computer, thereby eliminating the need to carry volumes of sheet music, music stand, light, etc. The notebook computer has a backlit screen, can hold more sheet music than you could carry in a tractor-trailer, weighs less than two pounds, the print is easier to read (go with the 15-inch screen) and now there's a neat, mini USB light that's available to light up the keys so you can see them in darkened rooms. Two models are available from www.cyberguys.com and the bulb last 1,000 hours. Another model uses a tiny LED light and comes with a clip so it can be attatched to the top of the computer's screen, while the other is a gooseneck rig that is flexible and can be positioned exacly where you want it. I'm buying one tonight, and at $11.49 for one, or $8.95 for the other, it's a no brainer. The product # is 142 0350. The other, less expensive light is #141 0352. Here's the link to the first light: http://www.cyberguys.com/templates/searchdetail.asp?T1=142+0350

Another problem solved by creative engineering--Hmmmm. Or was that Better Living Through Chemistry?

Cheers,

Gary
