Ordered an Refurbished Acer 23" Touchscreen Monitor last Friday for a reasonable £203, then got the wrong one on the following Tuesday, then got the wrong one collected on the Wednesday, reciving assurences we would get the proper one in "a few days", and still havn't got it today, so we ring up, and were then told "we forgot to deliver it, so we refunded the money." We have reodered it today, and should hopefully be here by Wednesday! It had better be ruddy well worth it! . Looking forward to trying it out with Moviestorm, if it ever arrives though. Has anyone else got a touch screen and tried it out with Moviestorm? And do you think Touch Screen monitors/All In One PC's will be the "norm" in 3/4/5 Years? And is there anything I need to know about Touch Screens, download wise, bearing in mind I'm working on a Windows Vista Home Prem. 32 Bit, before I do something stupid and break it, or think its not working and send it back after all this hassle?
Sorry about my little rant there, had to get it off my chest. Charlie P.S= I bought it from Argos on eBay, so be careful. But I didn't tell you that

My four year old sister has been drawing houses and writing her name on it using MS Paint- so I guess they must be pretty easy to use!!! -------------------- |

It works well with Moviestorm, its a bit easier i personally find to control the face morphers, get exactly what i want. There are a few disadvantages, but its to do with me, not the monitor. once i get the hang of it, it'll be great  -------------------- |
