Listener Feedback:
Bill Dungan says: " I was so happy to find your podcast. I am the Director of Photo for a grocery chain. We have 11 photo labs with 6 labs being all digital using Noritsu equipment. Thanks for the great program!"
Alyssa says: "I am a Columbia Business School student working on a project for my Intro to Venturing class. We are required to develop a business idea and then do a feasibility study. My business idea includes developing kiosk with integrated front-end software. I was hoping I could speak to someone at Magicgate Software in order to learn more. Thank you for your help in advance."
Frustrated User says: "I really have no business listening to your podcast, just found that it was well produced and I wanted to complain to the people listening to this show that MAKE kiosks.... Why is that every time I walk into my local drug store to print pictures, it is either not working or they run out of paper or ink.... Is there not some way to monitor this so a customer does not get frustrated and angry? I hope someone will hear this and listen to us, the consumer."
Jan writes: "Did ELO ever contact you about their touch technologies that you have been talking about? I can't believe your story from the convention that you went to. Do they think they own that market? Anyway, here is the information you were looking for:"
- AccuTouch Five-Wire Resistive
- AT4 Four-Wire Resistive
- CarrollTouch Infrared
- IntelliTouch Surface Wave
- SecureTouch Surface Wave
- iTouch Touch-on-Tube Surface Wave
- Projected Capacitive
- Surface Capacitive
