Not a problem, lights on my parallel port tester are already blinking :-)

Hmm, don't know what do you expect of REBOL/View, but I think touch screen
should be irrelevant to REBOL/View directly, as it should be some kind of
driver, which should do the work.

Maybe REBOL/Serve, as it will have tasking/threading, security (probably
SSL?) etc.

The only one question is what do you expect of REBOL/View gui. I would
still more like to see /Core's multitasking ability than being dependant on
/Serve, /Command and having to launch yet-another-rebol from harddrive.
