Touch Screens

Archived from groups: alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim (More info?)

Hello all,



Just a quick question. has anyone ever considered using a touch screen
to control FS2004 instead of using a mouse?

I was going through the start-up of my BAe146 the other day and it
would be much better if I could just touch the screen instead of using
the mouse. This would also allow use of the simulator without having
the computer keyboard in front of me making it feel much more
realistic. Any thoughts? (There is a 17inch TFT on Ebay starting at
£300 !! so it's going to be a long time before I take the plunge!)

Tacos in Canada? Surely that is one of the signs of the upcoming
Apocalypse.

What do you Canadians put in your tacos anyway.. grilled beaver?

Well, I would admit that some of our beaver is pretty hot up here, but it's
usually not grilled. ; )

Believe it or not, we ARE civilized somewhat in the 'true north strong and
free'. We have Taco Belles all over the place as well as almost every other
major destructor of human health. In fact, we have just begun expanding Tim
Horton's Donuts into the USA, and we are definitely focussing on Texas. We
know everything and everyone in Texas is biggest in the USA.

Is the rumour true that the airlines in Texas have 3 classes for
passengers?? Coach, First Class and Cargo??? : )
