Amazing he has a touch screen screen installed and they are available to buy online. Now how is this for amazing when I bought my C-64 I saw such a screen available for I think it was the comidor 10 or the first Omiga which was pretty amazing. If there was a stable release for this package O would definatly buy it (touch screen)

Very cool. I just can't make myself get one because I hate cleaning off the fingerprints afterwards...

That's amazing, how much do screens like that cost? Are they affordable?

Just thinking of this this might be very useful with the new 22 wide screen LCD's. It might even have a slight advantage over a mouse for certain things.

I looked a few up a few years ago and they are not that bad though a bit pricey around one to a couple hundred pertaining to where you find one. It's been around for a very long time but might actually be usefull now a days.

If I didn't already use Ubuntu with Beryl, that would probably change my mind. I wouldn't really like touching my monitor though. Fingerprints and dust on my LCD or PSP annoy me for some reason.
