From the way in which your post is written, I assume you are in favor of touch screens.

To me, it is not that big a deal. In favor of buttons, I like the fact that they are tactile(sp?),
And In the same location on the keyboard each time.

I use touch screens a lot...iPad, iPhone etc. As I wrote this on my iPad, I had to use extra care not to touch wrong keys etc, as there is no reference point. So I don't find touch screens all that easy either.

That said, I could live with either. I certainly wouldn't change keyboards just to get one with a touch screen.

It will be interesting to see what others say.

Interesting thread.
