You may want ot consider using a touchscreen technology that does
not rely on the kind of monitor you use.  I am thinking of a
system I have seen a couple of times but have not for the life of me
been able to get company info about.  It is a pressure sensitive
pad that the monitor sits on.  Calibrate it quickly and it can tell
where where you press on the screen by interpreting how the
monitor moves on the pad.


Anyone have the info on this? I'll keep looking.
