I'm not saying you CAN'T use PC Windows with a touchscreen, laptops from such makers as Fujitsu, Sony, Compucon, Palmax and Panasonic are evidence enough otherwise. I'm saying that it isn't really conducive to doing so hence the need for extra buttons and what not (certainly not one-handed operation). Notice that very few laptops use the touchscreen as the only inbuilt pointing device and those that do do so for space reasons (I can only think of the Palmax and Compucon products). As for touchpads, have a peek at the Toshiba cPad (currently only on the Satellite 5105 series, in itself a pretty darn well specced laptop, http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/product/pdf_files/detailed_specs/satellite_5105s607608.pdf ) ... they've decided to put a mini LCD display behind a transparent, pressure sensitive (not capacitive!) touchpad (effectively, a little touchscreen in place of the standard touchpad) ... so not only can you actually SEE the scroll zones now but you can also use a stylus to write on it (and presumably you can use software to control what's displayed there). Perhaps its a good compromise between touchpads and touchscreens? - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
