Don't Touch A Designers Screen

This is a huge pet peeve of mine, especially since I have an easy-to-scratch LCD screen.

Update: This time with a working link. Copy/paste is NOT my friend today.

Could you point me to the part in that link where there is something relevant to touching a screen?

I didn't read the link, but I know what you mean. Screen touchers need to be stopped. I think it is something that should be prosecuted!

I think you placed a wrong link, Jake. You referred to this in a previous post about CSS.

Big pet peeve of mine as well. There is a mouse pointer if you want to point at something. Some reason idiots feel the need to use their greasy fingers.

Jake, man, do I know the feeling. You know, as I am a Spoiled Little Bitch, I bought a 23" Apple Cinema Display. I think it is doubly worse on these screens.
