- I have a MicroTouch here on loan, for evaluation I guess, since it's going
- back next week. For 2.0 and above, does GPTouch run as a commodity or is
- it an old style input handler? I heard the driver from MicroTouch doesn't
- run under 2.0. *shrug*

- Maybe for something like multi-select in the menus?
-
- I guess I was wondering if some touch screens supported more than one
- contact point...and in that way, touching some magic point on the screen
- would be the rmb event, while touching in the main part would be the lbm
- event. (Still...I probably wasn't thinking straight when I posed my
- question...)
