Touch Screen on a G4 Powerbook?

Why would you think it's expensive? Our Canon photocopier has touch screen. Oh wait, I get it, it's made by Apple. Never liked touch screen though. Gets dirty real fast. I'll probably end up cutting people's fingers off for pointing at my PB. Hell, I'm already doing that to people poking at my 20" Cinema Display.
It's completly possible to get a lay-over for your 15 or 17 inch LCD panal for around 500 bucks. Write some control software and presto. You'll never get a overlay thin enough to close the book, but it is possible.

Check out some of the Kiosk software/hardware available in the 3rd party market, it's there.

Thanks for all the replies. So something like a kit or add-on screen would work best.
saabmp3,
What kind of control software would I have to write? How would I go about doing that? Is the touchscreen add-on kit (usb) just like having a mouse with your finger? Thats what I thought it would be.
