      A touch screen is simply a mouse. All you need to do is make sure any
      buttons, etc, are large enough to hit with a finger. The OS has
      functionality built in to support larger menus, scrollbars, caption buttons,
      etc (just use the Display Applet to set those) so don't get carried away
      re-inventing the wheel (I have a patent on that). Once you're done, you can
      have a bit of fun with the users (I do <g>) by asking them to right-click
      the touch-screen and select 'Properties'... you can't imagine the number of
      people that actually try that <g>

          I wished I could reply to you this in Dutch.

          Waarom gebruik je geen *Net* te ronde wielen in plaats van VoorBije 6
          kantige.

          (Why are you not using nice round wheels instead of those with 6 sides from
          the past)

          I could not resist and don't see this in any way serious.

          Cor

              LOL... I truly hate when I find that I've spent time doing something that's
              already built in <g>
