While we're talking about mice, I've got a question. We're using and are
still planning to use, mainly for cost issues, a grid touch screen. It sits
on a quarter-VGA panel, and is quite adequate for the purposes that we use,
which is basically to punch buttons on the screen. What's going to be the
best way to get this going with Microwindows?
