Hewlett Packard used to make a touch sensitive screen for one (if not more) of
it's computers. I remember seeing it but don't remember much more about it.
I just remember that they had a beam grid over the surface, and you interupted
beams w/ your finger.
These things also show up in airport information terminals. I was wondering if
anyone out there could tell me who makes a screen or peripheral to fit over the
screen like this, and how I could get in touch with someone to see about 
purchasing them. 

Please reply by post or E-mail to drowe@eos.polyslo.edu
Thanx.
