<Homer-Simpson look> doh! I would like touch screen on Macs too (I think apple is rather silly for not pursuing this idea (maybe they are in the skunkworks..), but I don't know how much it would cost to put a touch screen that wouldn't obscure the screen in any way - based on standing accoustic waves or infrared or something else.. I think it would be more intuitive for some things, especially for new users, or if you're demonstrating something. (Just the other day, I was saying "click on the scroll arrow. No, *there* and pointing. If I could have moved the cursor, it would have been nice..
