Heh, I despise a touch-pad on a laptop. They'll have to pry my mouse
from my cold dead fingers before I'd use one. But if the touch-screen
were REALLY REALLY good, accurate and responsive, it might not be a bad
thing. The local dingy weather girl uses one on TV, without breaking
sweat. 

But, the next generation? Shoot, they'll be glad to see us go.
