New removable touchscreen netbook available May/June 2009

I thought this was an interesting concept, a new ARM-powered netbook running Linux O/S with an optional keyboard! A user could use the keyboard to respond to emails, or remove the touchscreen to watch movies, read an ebook, take notes with a stylus, or play games. The touchscreen can even be mounted to a refrigerator as the back is a magnet. Economically priced as well - $399 for the complete netbook or $299 for the touchscreen portion.

Planar Touchscreen running a Tormach Milling Machine!

Planar touchscreen monitors are indeed everywhere - even with a Tormach milling machine! The user had this to say about the set-up: "I am using the Tormach version of Mach 3 but did make a new screen with the screen editor. Got rid of the stuff I don't use and added the stuff I do. This is really a great setup!"
