EEE Touchscreen Update

Just a follow up on my earlier mention that I added a touchscreen to my Eee.

The thing works fabulously and makes the diminutive PC a delight to use. The Eee's tiny touchpad is incredibly annoying to use, and the precision of the screen is surprisingly good. While the screen is best used with a stylus, it works almost as well (just a little less precise) with your fingernail.

If someone were to come up with a mod to make the device work as a tablet form factor, whether it be a 180 swivel or even a keyboard-free case, I think I'd be all over it.
