I dont get any grubby marks on my touch screen GPS.

Never needed to clean it in the years I have used it every week.

You must be a very grubby 'person'

Yuck , who wants to spend all their time poking a PC screen with their finger , especially with these flimsy LCD screens as they are wobbly and that have no weight in the base , you will end up having to hold the screen with one hand and then poke the screen with the other hand.

The touch screen is build for the stupid newer generation that can't spell , type or string 4 words together into a coherent sentence.

Petzl What perfect set of circumstances placed our Sun a Celestial ball of fire at just the correct distance from our little blue planet for life to evolve? All simply conicidence? The very fact we exist is nothing but the result of a complex yet inevitable string of chemical accidents and biological mutations? There is no Grand meaning; There is no purpose

Fools ran the same mindless line about mice.

I am still using XP. As it is, there is years of knowledge about every aspect of it on the web, it is reasonably stable for my purposes, and everything that I need runs on it. It supports touch screens also which you can easily get from Ebay for just about any size monitor.

Have not yet seen a mouse leave grubby finger prints on the screen. Mind you some of the little rodents (grandkids) have.

Just another silly little fantasy.

I have never cleaned my touch screen GPS and have used it weekly for years now.

Still can't find your way home unaided?

Those are garage sales, f****it child.

I think I'll skip Windows 8, and wait instead for Windows 9 which might l have a direct brain interface, no need for mice, keyboards or touchscreens LOL.

Train the mice to operate the keyboard, cost a few crumbs.

Trouble is that by then you wont have a viable brain to interface to.

Win9 will be so imbedded with Skype, that everyone will get an auto phone implanted in a body part of their choice, but the fax /email facility will have to be implanted in your arse. :-)

If winblows as I suspect will change to that point and millions will change o/s as there are were and will be increasing trust issues

Me neither . I don't need one.

Only averagely.

Irrelevant. We will all be on Linux by, um, last year according to Lazzo.
