Touchscreens and Front ends?

Might be a dumb question, but will a liliput or touchscreen kit on an LCD be compatable with most front ends? Or, does the FE have to coded to have the ability to use them?

Wouldnt it just detect the area near an Icon, and let you *click* or *drag* it?

Nothing has to be coded. You dont even need a frontend. The touchscreens work on windows operating system, not the front end. When you touch the screen it acts as a mouse click, so any front end will work. The purpose of the front end is to make the operations more touchscreen friendly. (larger icons, etc.)

Yes

eh, not a dumb question. Yes its compatible with most front ends. Taping the screen is the same as clicking.

An empty can, or a full one?

Don't waste precious beer on an idiot; natural selection will take care of him eventually.

A full one only if I have time to let the fizz settle down before I get to that one.

See... that's the only reason to have a six-pack of Bud Light nearby.

The only good Bud is the one you smoke.
