They want to sell their iPads and iPhones. I have a laptop with 
touch screen now. It's convenient when you have it on your lap 
and don't need to navigate the cursor with the trackpad. Just 
touch it like a baby would. (Excellent for clicking ads away when 
on youtube!)

I guess Apple will finally have touch screen laptops too, as soon 
as they realize that a lot of people prefer other brands to 
Apple, because of this. And of course, then it will be _the 
revolution of the century_! :-))))
