i would think that something like a flatscreen panel at an engle instead of
standing upright would work better... kinda like those desks that had the
glass top and you looked thru it to the CRT monitor below... but the
anchoring of the thing to keep it still would be the gotcha...

BTW: many resturaunt POS systems are nothing more than a regular computer
under the counter and a touchscreen on the counter ;)
