KEEP yer touch-screen!  I'll keep my QWERTY keyboard and mouse, thankuverymuch!

Postscript: does anyone know of someone who can type accurately and quickly on a touch-screen?!?  I sure don't!

I am very interested in seeing what, if any, efforts Microsoft takes to make this version of Windows accessible to people with disabilities. I love the Apple products and their built-in accessibility. They have made touch screen devices very useable for people with disabilities.

That's true Jonathan! I love Apple products too!

Hey Steph! It's not too strong a statement for me to say that the Apple products changed my life. Blind people only have one true choice when it comes to accessibility at the same price paid by sighted people. That one choice is Apple!

Well you just made me smile! Thanks I am a huge Apple fan and Apple is very good at making their products accessible.

The first image that came to mind was "CSI Miami". They've had a futuristic version for years. Can't imagine it responds well to things like hand lotion.

From what I've read the Microsoft Surface Tablet due out in Oct in a limited function version and the pro version due next Jan are a far cry from the table sized Surface computers we've seen on CSI Miami and many other shows.
