I saw this video 4 years ago and thought wow that is neat. Now I have a no tower large touch screen desk top computer. I think it came pretty fast to the market like now it is in the iphone. The touch screen is great to use along side my keyboard and mouse. Using just the touch screen alone is not pratical, but I can use it to easily scrol down a page like this one and not use the mouse. To type the keyboard is better than using the on screen touch keyboard.
