	Adding touch screens to normal, vertically oriented, PCs is 
well known as a disastrous thing to do in the interface design 
community.
	Basically, people think it is a good idea until they try it 
for any amount of real work, at which point the 'Gorilla arm' effect 
kicks in and they hate it.

	Look for touchscreen interfaces to Mac OS X to come only with 
a tablet (which can be used horizontally).
	The Magic Mouse, however, looks like a really nifty way to 
incorporate touch technology into desktop machines, and I think is 
pretty smart, a lot smarter than touchscreens would have been.
