What's the big deal? Alcohol will dissolve fingerprints. All the iPad user has
to do is carry around a 250ml bottle of vodka. Problem solved.

Very true. At restaurants where you pay in advance you should either use
a credit card or wash your hands after you pay with cash (or both).

My camcorder, the Sony DCR HC32-E, has a touch screen. I have it for almost
4 years and all it needs is an occassional cleaning with a micro-fiber
cloth. Of course it gets dirty, the lens also from time to time, but
nobody's perfect, except God:-)

I can sympathize with this.

In a different thread, someone once said, "I have CDO, Compulsive
Disorder Obsession. It is the same as OCD except it is in alphabetic
order as it should be!"

It was then that I realized I had it.

To a certain extent all of us have our quirks. I have known several of these
people and see their life as sad, not funny. I suspect when we make fun of
them we are expressing fear that we may have the problem, too. My
psychologist friends tell me that our laughter is a form of denial.
