    Just a side note - someone pointed out that the OP was not looking at touscreens.

    Whenever I see a touchscreen they make me want to stab a biro right through them...

    Touchscreens are:
    a) smudged by fingerprints all the time
    b) don't work 90% off all the times you need it...
    (at least the stylus based version - which doesn't suffer quite so badly from smudges, which needs you to remove a stylus, which could have been replaced by a faster button reliant system...)

    But but....

    a) Micro-fiber cloth :p
    b) are actually fast WHEN they work ;)
    c) People like to touch :D :D ;)

    I'm not a fan of touchscreens myself, but I couldn't resist :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    well - point a) - great I'm polishing round the clock :D - got that for my laptop screen.

    b) - I suppose its debateable - different people have different experieces, and different devices with different functions have different speeds.

    c) depends on the person I'd say...

    (Couldn't resist either :D)

    But anyway - the OP didn't ask for a touscreen - now he/she nows the merrits (??? are there any :D) and downsides of one too.

    No problem :)

    I wish they would offer their sales to Canada too though :(
    There are so many good deals I have seen on Woot but haven't been able to jump on them because of where I live :(

    Yeah, isn't they having their monthly "Woot Off" a few days ago? I saw this pair of ear warmers on sale, they are all gone in 30 minutes. :eek:
