They are completely different tools.  Only a fool could have thought

Absolutely. When Microsoft was pushing their original Surface tablets (the

Then they showed people reaching across their desk (over their keyboards)
and hitting their touchscreens on their desktop computers. I thought it was
ridiculous.
