I envision (no pun intended) several problems with this. 1. Some of us have a limited eye focusing distance, and could never see the far side of the table clearly, without standing up and leaning over it. 2. You couldn't put anything down on the table, which is what people usually do with tables, without making part of its function unusable. (Except digital cameras and iPods [oops!] and wireless phones.) I would also think it might be a bad idea to spill a drink on it. 3. Many of us dislike the "move-your-finger" mouse-pads on laptops. This would be a giant version of that. (I personally dislike moving mice as well; I use track-balls [Kensington]). There are probably other gotchas, but this is a first shot. PS: I still think nobody would actually read an OT list. This is at least partially a technology list, and I wouldn't have it any other way. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
