    Exactly, finally someone else that gets it. And standard laptop and projectors screens are no better. Don’t even get me started on fingerprints!

    Couldn’t it work if it were an A2 size that you rest on. Something like a drafting board that is slightly tilted toward you?

    And it has flick panning and gestures so you can swipe and flick a ‘piece of paper’ out of the way to get to the window below.

    In my dreams I can do this

    Well, you still need to move your hands on the mouse and keyboard, right? :-)
