 		it’s cheaper to buy a small USB powered touchscreen monitor and a netbook, then a touchpad of the same power. Maybe I should do that?

 		Could be a bit clunky, and I can't imagine it's good for the battery, either...

 		I'm actually thinking of buying a 24" monitor, and building a giant tablet. I'm sure you could also get a battery system worked out.

Might be a bit heavy having it on my lap, especially since I'd also want to be using a mid-range PC/laptop, not a netbook.

 		That's a big smegger!!!

If you are going to do it, though, don't forget setup some sort of giganto-style whiteboard/"surface" table thing.
"surface" has always intrigued me, but.. .. Never seen one, and probably never will!

 		Aren't proper tablets pressure sensitive though?. I'm not sure but a stylus might damage a TS-monitor, as it might not be designed for the same job as a gfx tab.

 		You can get fullsize monitors which are fully touch compatible, and it's these that I am talking about.

No stylus needed!

 		I think you defeat the purpose of a portable tablet when you do that.

 		But Joe, how do you do detail without a stylus?. . I've not had any experience with a TS-Monitor so I'm not in the know, please enlighten me.

 		I never thought about it that way JL235.

But then I thought that Netbooks were not worth the money during their initial creation.

I did put my name on that HP TouchPad waiting list and am still waiting.
