Sounds good,, I don"t see me running out to buy a new PC with touch screen ,, I already have that on on my transformer,, I like it,, but I am not a game player so I do not think I will be buying one,,
Actually I have three computers as it is four if you count my smart TV,, considering my phone is a Galaxy note and for many things it is my preference,, As for a new operating system,, but I am talking with my friend Hans about that, I already have linux ubuntu on my laptop,, we are talking about setting it up to be able to handle, firefox OS,, and possible android.. and I think android might be cool on my bedroom TV.. a little tiny processor.. for the back..but will have to think about it.. so it is a process of going nuts I am sure..
