Using A Touchscreen Monitor For Gaming

I should never have bought this before finals...

What Have I Done!?!?

Oh boy, I've just purchased something that I shouldn't have. By which I mean, how much money I spent. I briefly mentioned in a previous post that I was looking to buy a music sequencer device, and I more or less did that. But also, I bought something that does much more than that! Intrigued? Just pretend like you are...

For whatever reason, I decided spending more money on my PC would be a good idea. Because yeah, what I really need is a second monitor after purchasing an expesive video card and core 2 duo processor. But alas, a second monitor is what I recently purchased and will be arriving via UPS on tuesday. "A new monitor? Thats lame." Not just any ol' monitor! I purchased a 19" glass touch screen monitor with decent specs. Just one more thing to proclaim my spoiledness! *pats self on back, nods head in approval*

The idea is that I'll be able to use a sequencer program in max/msp or Abbleton Live, for all of my touch screen musical needs. Then on the flip side, I'll be able to draw, animate, and whatever else I feel like doing on my new fancy mid-life crisis. No longer will the mouse hold me back! No longer will a mouse pad slow me down! Finally, I'll be able to embrace the refreshing cool breeze that is no pants and a stylus....Err I mean, just a stylus!...Don't pretend like you don't sit at the computer naked too...
