The most pleasant news I've heard today. Thanks, Steve.

Touch screens have a different fatal flaw, though : you have to
stand close to the screen. Hello myopia.

Interesting article.
Personally I believe the mouse will still be around for awhile.
Yes, touch screens and so on are helpful, but not the best for detailed
work.

Recently I aquired a Dell Notebook, and I am slowly getting used to the
mousepad on it, but far prefer using a mouse.
In the end of the day, it still controls a pointer though.
