I know nothing about touch screens and have a few questions.
can you touch with a stylus or just your finger?
could it be used to draw archwires on the chart?
can it used instead of the mouse?
thanks steve

Re: touch screen
Hi Steve,
I have used touchscreens in my ops for years and it can replace the mouse. If you can draw an archwire with the mouse, you could draw it by touching the screen. I have had 2 kinds of screens; one that you can touch with a stylus or other hard object (eg. your fingernail through a glove) and one that you can touch with your fingertips. They have names for these different kinds of screens but I forget what they call them. Anyway, I prefer the ones that you can touch with the stylus. They probably have screens that can sense both by now. They work great but sometimes I find myself tapping the screen on my home pc which is not a touchscreen.....
