I'm using an HP tablet with Android on it, and I like the touchscreen technology in general. However there are places I find it annoying -- a mouse is more precise, because you can see where you're *about* to click, where with a touchscreen you can't. > Every try to do desktop publishing with a touch screen? No, but I can imagine that that's a nightmare. I haven't been doing desktop publishing; however I can imagine that CAD work with a touchscreen would equally be a nightmare. I also haven't been using Windows 8 thusfar, so I don't know what dealing with it is like either. What I *do* know is that installing Debian onto a laptop that comes with Windows 8 is non-trivial. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle [email protected] _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) Vassar College Jul 10 - Mad Science Fair - Open Hardware Expo Aug 7 - Scripting Your World with Python Oct 2 - OpenFlow: Open Standard for Networking Hardware
