Dear Scorpion,

(I feel like I'm staring in a bad action movie or something, calling a dude
Scorpion.)

I have an 8" lilliput screen in my home, and so far have been very pleased
with it. Was able to find a replacement touch membrane when I broke the
original one, and the software tha comes with it is good once you figure out
how to get it installed. It has things like multi-point calibration, a
right-click mode, adjustable double-click area forgiveness, etc.

All in all a good deal, I thought.
