today i had to use an old resistive touch monitor.
what the hell how people can use that thing?
i had to literally punch it with my finger to get a click recognized

They aren't that bad.. though the tracking is usually off

There is a company in the UK called Argos where you use these screens to check if something is in stock. They are so bad you have to press the screen with a pencil to make it work. Worse is that you have to wait 2 seconds between presses or it can't cope.

Aaaah, PDA, good old time....
I remember that Nokia was one of the last phone manufacturer that keep them.
If you look at the N500, it was not so bad, and anything was a stylus at that time
