</P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>When we converted to I/A about six years ago, we got the big Sony
monitors</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>with the touch screen option. They are great to work with and
the operators</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>really like them. Apparently they have a life span of about six
years of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>continuous use. We have burned out seven of them in the past
three months</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>and at this rate I don't expect the rest of them to last much
longer. I've</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>got 15 more displays to replace. Soon.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I know that there are video display options besides the Foxboro
offerings,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>but I have yet to see any with a touch screen. Have any of you
found a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>viable replacement?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Foxboro offers replacements, but $3000 is a lot to pay for a 20"
TV set that</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>only gets one channel --- even if you can use the screen as a
remote.</FONT>
