Either the actual touch sensitive or the light array type would be acceptable. We are looking for a panel that fits rights over the screen. We would prefer one on which a finger would work but might consider a light pen. We don't need high resolution and probably 16 X 16 would be sufficient. The terminals that we've seen cost over $7000 and have fancy graphics that we don't really need. What we would like is a cheap way that doesn't require a lot of fancy code or hardware. Thank you, John Kastner [ During July, WorkS discussed a variety of different workstation input devices. A major portion of the discussion was devoted to touchpanels. For your convenience, a transcript of this discussion is now available in the file DUFFEY;WORKS TOUCHP on MIT-AI. -- RDD ] ------------------------------ End of WorkS Digest ******************* ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
