Hello,

I'm currently researching the effectiveness of incorporating a 
touchscreen computer station in an upcoming exhibition, and I wondered 
if anyone might share their experiences with me. The exhibition is of 
antiquities, and we're considering an interactive kiosk as a way to 
show additional levels of information, such as reconstructions of 
frescos and mosaics, excavation histories, etc., as well as detailed 
photographs of hard to display three-dimensional objects, such as 
coins.  What are your thoughts as to the benefits of touchscreens vs. 
mouse-activated computers?   PC vs. Mac?  Recommendations for any 
particular models?

Many thanks,
