    Not bad at all. I never liked touch screen screens though, they allways look crummy for normal use.

    If I didn't have a 1000H, I would have considered it, as it would make some graphical class notes a bit easier. Maybe I will put a touchscreen on the 1000H, could be the first on the model; I haven't heard of this done on the 1k series yet.
