Are you talking about full-size, vertically-oriented, desktop monitors, to be used by people on computers a lot? (Back before Windows 3.1) Hewlett-Packard released a DOS-based touchscreen system -- after great expense and much hoopla. (Light sensors along top and right edges. LEDs along bottom and left edges.) Immediately, the "real world" user base developed severe "gorilla arm", and the entire phenomenon was quietly strangled in a dark alley. Don't know how many scapegoats lost their jobs at HP as a result. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorilla_arm#.22Gorilla_arm.22 George Santayana, in his book "Reason in Common Sense", said: "Those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it." Yep, yep, yep. Dagnabbit. Carl Turney Bayswater, Vic
