I might be interested but shipping would probably be prohibitive and I'm
nowhere near MN. Of course they have a use - provided there is a way to
interface them to a PC. They can replace your mouse; less precisely
but plenty good enough for pushing buttons on a GUI.

I think so far every manufacturer of touchscreens uses their own interfacing
technique; sometimes there is a box to hook up to a serial port and emulate
a mouse, sometimes the box is integrated into the monitor, or there might
be a custom ISA card. Make sure whoever you sell them to has any such
external devices.
