we used to have these built in glare screens at work in our big console area. they were actually lids for the monitor area. i can't tell you how many times i saw people go to point at somthing on the screen and have their finger violently stop short about two inches from their actual screen with a loud thump! ow!

i almost completely forgot about that. now i've got a huge grin on my face!

Click to expand...

Oddly enough, it's common practice for employees where I work to point at their screens. Not just touch them, but actually poke them, so you see that lovely LCD smear.

These aren't ordinary n00bs, either. They're programmers and admins.

If one of them tries that with my PowerBook screen, though...wham! I'll poke them where it hurts!
