So supposing I couldn't stretch to =A31600 for a 6.4" video
touchscreen
or =A3800 for a non video touchscreen....any other options?

Im thinking there must be a way to use those cheap VGA touchscreens
seen on ebay for =A3100 - =A3200.  Im thinking maybe using a website with
big buttons for control or even some sort of nicely displayed pc program?

Could this be done? Could you have more than one touchscreen connected
via USB, just like pluggin a few mice in i guess!

My budget definitely wouldn't cover the xantech screens altho they do
look very nice! some sort of pc control (or mac!!) would be much more
up my street in terms of pricing....interfacing through girder for IR
control maybe?!

Cheers
Noel
