Touch screen vs just using a mouse

Post by TRM »

I have never owned a touch screen PC.
Centroid recommends using a touch screen with there Acorn.
How many guys are just sticking with the old school mouse?
I really want to use a all-in-one. The all-in-one PCs that I have been finding with good processors and good SSHD with lots of space and ram are non touch. Is it that big of a deal?

Not a big deal. Use a mouse. Buy the wireless MPG and you should be all set.
I still use a touchpad because I need it to navigate windows.

I've been running these waterproof keyboards with track pads and have been very happy with them. They are impervious to water soluble coolants as well as tapping fluids. I just wipe them down with Simple Green when they get dirty and they are as good as new.

Confidence is the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are where they should be.

Hey Tom,
I just bought a couple of those. One will be mounted on the console of the Emcoturn 1 recently40. I like the build quality.

Thanks for posting that.
