[ale] Question on Touch Screen

[damon at damtek.com]

I agree. Not very useful on a laptop. Hold your hands parallel to the ground straight out in front of you. Now keep them there.  How does that feel? Now do that for a few hours.
In addition, touch screen on windows IS done right. Not so much in Linux that I can tell. Scrolling chrom works great with touch in win, not so much in lin. Etc etc. So, if you have to touch it, windows is pretty slick and Linux seems to fall short.
