I own a company which does touch screen development using the Elographics  
Intellitouch system.  The drivers for it essentially replace a mouse although  
you can get it to work without losing support for the mouse.  We use it under  
windows or any software which can use a mouse.  The touch screen itself is very  
good and with variable levels of sensitivity.  You can install it onto  
virtually any monitor although installation requires a good technical hand.

If you want some more info, write me at ALEE@SYSTEMS.WATSTAR.WATERLOO.EDU.
