                       Query - Cheap touchpanel
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Date:  4 Sep 1981 1257-EDT
From: Kastner at RUTGERS (John)
Subject: Touch Panel

   Do you know of any vendors that sell a touch panel terminal or
an add-on touch panel for an existing terminal?  Either the actual
touch sensitive or the light array type would be acceptable.  We
are looking for a panel that fits rights over the screen.  We
would prefer one on which a finger would work but might consider
a light pen.  We don't need high resolution and probably 16 X 16
would be sufficient.
   The terminals that we've seen cost over $7000 and have fancy
graphics that we don't really need.  What we would like is a
cheap way that doesn't require a lot of fancy code or hardware.

     Thank you,
          John Kastner
