Need Help With Finding A Clock (Seriously!)

Hi all,

I am looking for a cheap digital clock that I can see the time on in my bedroom without having to turn the light on or push a button - i.e. it needs to have a constantly backlit display.

Preferably one that has a few settings on it for brightness so that you can dim the backlight as well.

Does anyone have one of these or know of a suitable one? Please let me know as I am struggling to find one.

Preferably no more than $20.

Cheers,
Steve.

    I have one like that. It's been some time but I think I picked it up at Target.

    It's actually an alarm clock radio.

    Good luck.

        Longitude by Dava Sobel
        The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time

        Longitude tells the life-and-death story behind the gridwork of lines that appear on every world map and globe. In the early days of sail, mariners had no accurate means of determining their position at sea. Indeed, the entire Age of Exploration was carried out without anyone's ever knowing where he was! Since ships lost track of their longitude as soon as they lost sight of land, innumerable tragedies befell navies and traders -- until John Harrison, a self-educated clockmaker, solved the problem of longitude in the mid-eighteenth century and laid claim to the great Longitude Prize offered by Parliament. Newsweek called the book "Intricate and elegant," noting, "No novelist could improve on the elements of Dava Sobel's Longitude."
