You know what's fun...configuring Windows 95 (and your company's software) using ONLY a touchscreen...no keyboard...no mouse.

Got pretty good at it :)

I remember Windows for Workgroups 3.11. :D

Yep. My Libretto uses a pointer device, my Dell Laptop has both the touchpad, and the (unused) pointer, and on my desktop, I use a touchpad, since my desktop is either too cluttered or too small to maneouver a mouse. In fact, I haven't used a mouse in about 4 years!
