Hmmm...five replies so far...negativity seems to prevail. Damn, those
pretty girls on those videos sure convinced me.

Anyway one doesn't have to use the touch screen if you don't want to.
There are all kinds of applications that don't use it. The ones that
do look like they should work though.

Anyway, I will give it a try...after all its just money...if I don't
like it I'll buy the $1500 machine that I had looked at first. Touch-
screens are not new but there are some neat apps with these newer
ones.
