    Microsoft "Surface"

    Really cool device by MS. I can see some good uses for this.

    Yes, it was on the local Seattle news tonight. But I sure can not see any use for it yet.

    But no price mentioned? And,,if you spill blazing hot coffee on it will it run screaming out the door??

    Ok,,sounds interesting,but methinks it will be a long time before folks will leave the PC as we know it for a table top.
    Stupid question? No such thing!

    Heh, I don't want to know how much it will cost. I agree with ya Train it really isn't pratical yet. But I can see where the "proto-type" can lead to in the future. I think it shouldn't be marketed yet. One down side I see is finger prints all over the screen. I find that annoying as hell.
