> No answers, but more questions, sorry!

This is ukha after all ;)

> Do you have some kind of recipe database/intranet, or is it just
that=20
you can surf the web for recipes from the kitchen?

We have a share with a lot of our favourite recipes in text files - nothing
more advanced than notepad I'm afraid - a recipe database is "on the
list",
when my resident code monkey gets her finger out...

> Is it a touchscreen, or do you have a keyboard? Aand if so, (how) is
it
kitchen-proofed?

Here's the setup:

I have a regular keyboard, rather than a touchscreen - it's far from
perfect, not because of the keyboard, which is cool, but because of the
pointer - I am using a trackball at present, mounted on the door next to
th=
e
PC with super stickies. It's the one part of the setup which doesn't work
well.

The keyboard isn't kitchen proofed so much as dirt cheap. It's a super
generic Logitech black keyboard - costs =A33.50.=20

> Without the kitchen PC this idea has been on hold.

It's easily the biggest WAF in years for us, and pretty darn handy - and
no=
w
it can display telly, it's even better!
