RE: Touch Screens

["William Gray" <wgray@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Can you weigh down the base with something, and/or affix it to the counter/desk somehow? This was mentioned as an issue at the IUG presentation on Touchscreens, in that lighter monitors (like the LCD) will crawl across the desk as it is used through the day. Nobody should be touching the screen hard enough to knock it over, however.

Subject: Touch Screens



We've got some money to spend before the end of our budget year and I am 
considering purchasing touch screens for the circulation desk. My dilemma 
is this:  We just switched from monitors to LCD screens.  We LOVE the LCD 
screens.  My IT person is concerned that an LCD screens will not be stable 
enough for touch screen.  He thinks they will be top heavy.  Does anyone 
have any feedback.  Thanks in advance!
