@MrPencilTitS Yeah thats like saying. I have a way to get to space .. Build a rocket. Easy enough to say, but to do .. hah! good luck. When giving instructions, GIVE INSTRUCTIONS. Don't just say .. To make the screen multi touch, make it multi touch. Ugh!

Shit. Why did i spend like 100$ for bamboo pen ?

@jeremithesinger I have a way of making the screen itself multi touch, but it would be pretty pricey and a pain to make. Basically take a ton of lasers and somehow hook them up to a computer so that they could be read, and make a grid of lasers over the screen.
