I've seen it in action. It's a lot of touching the monitor screen instead of the mouse. Therefore, I am thinking of buying stock in the company that makes Windex.

That seems like a lot of wasted/extraneous motion. Time-consuming.

I guess the touch screen thing is Ok for laptops, notebooks, etc. Not good for desktops.
