- I own a company which does touch screen development using the Elographics
- Intellitouch system. The drivers for it essentially replace a mouse although
- you can get it to work without losing support for the mouse. We use it under
- windows or any software which can use a mouse. The touch screen itself is very
- good and with variable levels of sensitivity. You can install it onto
- virtually any monitor although installation requires a good technical hand.
