Thank you!
I have been communicating with the Magic Touch folks and they have some sizes of overlay in refurbished stock. The 15" one in beige is $99 plus shipping and I think I'm gonna try that first. Warranty is 90 days parts & labor and as long as it's working out of the box and not scratched it should be ok.
I've just started playing with the 1.03 releases...there's a lot of good stuff in there so I can see really starting to have some fun.
I am also thinking about getting rid of my XKeys which I use for some games and some apps (like photoshop) and using TB instead. Don't need a lot of graphics design there...just good usability.
I appreciate you're taking the time to answer my silly questions
