Please share any useful comments about gesture-based interactives with the list. It seems counter-productive to have everyone take time to read the question but then not get to see some of the most informed answers. Thanks again for your contributions to the list.

>> We are seeking information about new interactive media technologies, and we'd love input from people who are using fairly recent technology in highly interactive environments. What is your experience with touchscreens or other input devices such as trackballs?  Specifically, what lasts well, including particular brands? What do visitors find most intuitive? What would you never use again? Any information you can provide would be incredibly helpful.  Thanks! Kathy
