Buick Reatta had a touchscreen interface in the '80s

My father had an 1989 Reatta new, which my mother took over after a year or so. I still remember climbing into the 'backseat' which really was just a deck about 2x4'. Good luck trying to get away with that these days.
Anyways, the touch screen was not hated by everyone, I liked it when I took over the car in '94. It really wasn't that hard to get used to, just no tactile feedback is all.
The GM 'Iron Horse' 3.8L V6 in that thing really moved it out. I immediately found out about the user-configurable overspeed alarm when a buddy and I passed 130mph. I'd reset it to 60mph when I knew my mother was going to drive it again cause the alarm would freak her out. The whole touch screen would flash a message and the cruise would kick in and push the pedal back on you. She yelled me out for that a few times...

#15 - I believe most cases from reputable companies these days address the issue of dust pretty well. I know my 4 year old Antec P160 has a dust filter in front of the 120mm intake fan up front. It's simple as heck to pop the front, take off the filter, run it under the faucet sprayer then dry it off with a towel and compressed air. It keeps the dust out really well. I used to dust out my previous case every 2-3 months, now I can go 6 and there is still less in there. I believe most of the Antec Performance One series cases have this feature.
This looks really interesting, but I agree with others here that real life use could be difficult for numerous reasons - cats, dust, grounding, etc...
