Put me down as a touch-screen guy. Once you get used to them, you never want to go back. I'm constantly touching the screen on my T2 and FantomG only to be rejected with a silent, icy stare. I feel like a sex offender.

With a good screen layout and properly sized 'virtual' buttons, touch-screens are the only way to go FOR ME. Of course they need to be supplemented with a few DEDICATED buttons, knobs, and sliders. Actually, I'm holding out for a voice-recognition system with lots of sophistication; like, if you sing off-key, the system shuts down (may not be the system for you, Fran ).

In the end, it comes down to what you get used to. Still, I wouldn't mind some real drawbars on my C1; old habits are hard to break.
