what % of powerbook owners realize that the brightness of the apple on their powerbook is directly correlated to the brightness of their screen?

I'm curious how obvious it is. It's certainly logical, but if someone never stopped to think about it, it might not be obvious.

The apple is just your backlight shining through a clear piece of plastic.

Its fairly easy to get off, but the airport and BT units/ wires are connected to it so i would figure it would be quite hard unless they just clip on and off...
