I am looking for information on "touch" terminals, in other words, terminals
that can accept input from the user by them touching a specific area of the
screen. I would like information regarding makes, models, features and cost.
Thank you in advance for any information!
Bruce

The touch terminals I've seen most recently were available from ADDS, a division of NCR. Call 1-800-231-5445 to get specs, prices, reps, etc. They were exhibiting some fairly nifty software that ran under Pick with these terminals at a trade show last year. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mike Nolan "To err is human, to forgive Tailored Software Services, Inc. is divine, to procrastinate is, Lincoln, Nebraska (402) 423-1490 um, can I get back to you on that?"

Just a side note:
1.: Tell the users to start developing some new strong muscles in their
arms NOW!
2.: I was giving programming courses some time ago, using terminals
with touch screens. To be exact: they had a grid of light beams
above the screen surface. It happened again and again that people
pointed at some code on the screen and switched the terminal
unintentionally to, say, "local mode". Very hard to diagnose why
the system didn't work anymore. Those terminals were definitely
to sophisticated for the users.
