John, I'm simply amazed that you feel this way! I have a 750C and
when I'm outdoors, I can barely see a blasted thing at all--and then only after
some really bad squinting. I find using the TP outdoors tremendously
annoying and difficult. The ambient light, whether very sunny or cloudy
and overcast, seems to be just too overpoweringly bright--hence, I can't
see what's on the screen for beans.
If you (or anyone on the list) have a secret method for seeing your
TP screen outdoors, please do share it with me. I'd like to use it outdoors,
but as of now, it certainly seems unworkable.
