Touch Screen (Read 8,100 times)

gdaddy Freshman Member Picogroup Offline I'm an Autonerd Posts: 7 Alabama Alabama USA Gender:	Touch Screen Jun 6^th, 2015 at 5:58am Plan to buy a new PC very soon. I read the basic requirements but I was wondering if a touch screen would be of any benefit? Would it be easier to manipulate the screen with "touch" rather than a mouse? Thanks, Mike

Though nice to have I don't use it much with the Pico software but more with other programs. I would get it with given a choice but wouldn't feel left out if I got one without it. Spence

Both my laptops (home and work) have touch screen. I find I rarely use the touch screen when running my
PICO as my fingers are too pudgy to reliably hit the little boxes - I use the pressure pad thingy.
When I use my AutoEnginuity scanner there are places where I can use the touch screen, and places where I can't.
It comes down to if the interface allows - with the scope there are just too many things on the screen for it to be feasible I suspect.
The program for my MegaSquirt fuel injection works nice with the touch screen.
Over all I find the touch screen handy.
