They're pretty good at levelling tables, but you might need a couple of them.

I think some of them are pretty cool for lounging around surfing the web. That said, i've got no interest in one, but I can see the usefullness for somebody who only uses a comp for web surfing, like my mom.

Most times though, touchscreens are just crap and an excuse to buy more glass cleaner.
I have seen that before and I really like it.

I didn't think I did and I don't in a way. I can think of more then a few ways they would piss me off. But I wouldn't mind having one at different times. It would be nice to have as a 4th unit behind my desktop, laptop and cell.

Plus with the age of my kids there is really 4 of us that could want to use a computer at any given time so it would be a nice extra.

One mounted to an arm for use in the bathroom would be nice.

I would love to win a Playbook. I would buy new computers right now over a tablet but if I won one I don't think I would sell it.

So much for job security. Don't you know that you aren't supposed to give this stuff away? If users knew how easy the shit we do really is, there won't be any more jobs for desktop support!

That might be an issue if all the businesses around here didn't cling tenaciously to Windows NT still. Now, if you'll excuse me, but IE6 is being really slow to render anything today.
