A mistake has certainly been made. I've been an ms booster for over 30 years, arguing their corner against Unix, apple, linux, and even netscape fanbois, only to find that they cannot be trusted to do anything useful, any more. If you truly believe that that screen-scratching gadget is useful, go ahead and buy one, so that you can spend all your time changing the colours on your full-screen graphics -- after all, that's the only thing that the people who gave ms their billions do all day, isn't it? But buy one quickly, because you probably won't even be able to find them in bargain bins, soon.

It has a soft pad on the bottom why would it scratch the screen? And by the way, I'm on Code Project... my art is code. I probably wouldn't need a surface dial, but I know a lot of folk who will love it.

Snazzy, the link is missing a "g", but she is a pretty one. Did know that, but then again I'm from the south and we take pride in not knowing fancy words.

I think CP is out to sabotage my postings. That's the second time the auto-linky thing has dropped a letter from the end. And I'm from Pompey, which is pretty far south

It has to be put down "off-screen", to pick up grit, muck, spilled coffee/paint/whatever. You shouldn't touch your screen with anything other than soft, lint-free cleaning cloths.

Hey, the plankies only add "new" to a name because they can't think of anything original.

You don't want to hear what he calls you when you're not logged in.

I never felt comfortable using a touch display on a laptop (or regular screen). Do people really use the touch screen on a laptop if available ? is it fatiguing ?
I'd rather be phishing!
I use the touch screen on my laptop for some purposes. Mostly I use just keyboard-n-mouse -- as others have noted, fingers are not very accurate. [I don't care for touchpads, either, as they're slower to use than a mouse] However, in doing demos for 1 or 2 people, the touch screen makes things easier for everyone. No need to transfer the mouse, just drag things around on screen. There are also times when I'm reviewing long data lists where I need to make short jumps -- the touch screen works well. Although I have to clean the screen when done ...
