I went to a local hardware store and there was a touch screen monitor, just like a tablet PC but a 15 inch monitor, it was damn expensive, do any of you have that one? Do you think its good to buy it

I don't know how reliable that thing is after a long period - does the sensitivity wear off or... anyone got any info on this or personal experience?

After years of being told to keep my mucky fingers off the screen...

It would be interesting to see how they handle dirt and cleaning issues, actually - this I figure is going to be essential for longevity.

Dirty fingers and cleanliness issues aside, I'm sure the longetivity will be fine.

If I understand correctly, its not much different from the touch screens of pdas.

Ultimately time will tell. I won't get one until the price goes down anyway

I would love to get one of these eventually. We have them at my college and I love using them, its very functional and easy to navigate.

Me, too. I would love one. I think they are so cool and it would be easier to control then the mouse.

I would be afraid of ruining the screen

since they are so expensive. Does anyone know if they released any durable, and clear touchscreens yet?

Me too. Also my experiences with anything touch screen is iffy. When it works, it's great ...then there are those unresponsive moments which are incredibly frustrating.

I've worked with touch screens extensively when I worked for a software development firm. I'd say hold off on it, the technology is far from perfected!
