No problem they will sell you one for $10,999,99 plus $450.00 shipping. But the setup fee is unknown. :97-

It's made by Microshaft......no thanks!
I would have to PAY $$$ a month for every "update/upgrade"
I have seen Microshaft's customer "support" before....

I have a video stored somewhere on my computer showing this technology off. I've had it for a year or so, give or take.
There was one demonstration where the table appeared to be a pool of water with stones in it. The water rippled when he ran his fingers across the table and and his fingers seemed to enter the water. Personally, I could never deal with my nice, thick coffee table books getting all soaked when I put them down. :200-  :30-

Its no surprise that the real Microsoft has licenesed the surface technology to the Mircosoft of Gaming (IGT).

Check out the Little Shop of Horrors in the following promo mag. http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/igt/slotline_200911/#/36
Looks cool in PICS must look really great in action - Wonder what a replacement LCD will cost ?
