I never said a touchscreen iMac would be ergonomic or even sensible.

I was pointing out that the idiot Schiller (and look up "shill" in a
dictionary) is claiming Apple won't make a touchscreen laptop computer
because that would make the user experience different from a
non-touchscreen desktop computer ... the reality is that using a laptop
and a desktop are *already* different user experiences thanks to the
trackpad (hence Apple made a desktop trackpad) and now they're adding
the silly and rather pointless gimmicky Touch Bar (no doubt a desktop
version of that will arrive at some stage too).

Of course, Apple did long ago already patent the fold-almost-flat
desktop computer design that Microsloth is now pushing as a selling
point of their over-priced crappy new Surface model.
