Microsoft Surface enables multi-touch on standard notebook - Page 2

It used to bother me more... now I tap them with my fingernail instead (if I don't have a stylus).

The multi-touch idea is interesting, but I don't have a use for it yet. Pressure-sensitive tablets are great for graphic arts, which is what I use them for, and in some cases, for handwriting recognition. Maybe I'd use a multi-touch screen for some kind of music interface. It would need to enable me to do something I can't easily do with my current setup. Fingertips are too big for fine control, but if I can think of some area in which I'd want to control multiple elements at once, e.g. music, I could be a convert. (Maybe if I ran a light show somewhere... or a planetarium....)
