I just bought my third Apple product last month.  I had a new 2002 iMac, 
an iPod Nano, and now a 2010 iMac.  I just do not like touch screens, I 
have 5 laptops; two T400s, an HP 6515b, an old 486 Toshiba, a 486 Packard 
Bell running DOS.  I just switched from a flip phone to a smart phone two 
months ago, a Moto E.
