I am revealing my ignorance of the technology behind touch screens, but
have been wondering whether they could be used to move between links in a
browser, scroll down a page, etc.

I am a librarian in a town of 45,000 and teach Net searching classes in our
"technology lab".  I have found that occasionally a senior citizen has
difficulty manuevering a mouse and have been looking for alternatives for
such an individual.

Suggestions welcomed.
