But I don’t WANT to run a touchscreen on my desktop or (probably) laptop. It’s stupid. I have to clean my monitor at least once a month now. Why would I intentionally put my grimy little fingers on it? I work with industrial UIs, which of necessity are often touchscreens, and sometimes on PC’s rather than dedicated devices, and using the touchscreen PC’s in normal PC non-industrial-UI mode, blows. It’s moronic.
I gather from your post that you don’t own a tablet at all?
