I don't like touch screens. They get dirty after a short time and are
expensive. 
But, I have to admit that I have no experience in the field so this
might be just prejudice on my part.
I really don't know how good/bad cheap/expensive they are.
I assume they require special monitors and that the objects that
the user manipulates (buttons, scroll bars etc.) must be quite
large.

We have a competitor that use a touch screen for their
interface. They never advertise this, though. Maybe it is a
weak spot... (just speculations)
