Dear Thinkpad Users

I am catching up with some paper/computer work at home on one of the very rare sunny days here in Edinburgh. Too nice to be inside - took laptop into garden, complete with wireless connection, and discovered the phenomenon of laptop screen glare - almost impossible to read anything on screen.

Very disappointed but undeterred managed to get some work done with a combo of sunglasses & cap plus squinting at screen.

I suspect that those of you who live in warmer parts of the world have known about this for a while. Are there any cheap and sensible solutions. I know that you can get reflective/transreflective screens but seems a bit of an extravagance for 1 sunny day per year!

I found this very silly solution on the net - probably works but...

Can you buy covers for your screen or similar? Out of curiosity, can you get transreflective screens for the T-41?

Best wishes
