Hmm, I did see those links, but I don't want to buy an iMac with prefitted touch screen. I'd like to get a touch screen overlay from any manufacturer, and install that on my iMac.
DOes anyone know of a supplier of touch screens that work on OSX?, preferably in Europe/UK?

Have you tried your good friend Google?

I found this during a quick search: Add-On Touch Screens

I am sure there are plenty of companies that make such devices, the only concern being that it is both Mac-compatible and of a desirable color.

decided to bin the idea. Partly because it will influence the image quality, meaning I can no longer match colours etc on teh screen to my printer on eye sight
