The Allegro display has a touchscreen used to activate programs and
functions. The touchscreen can be operated with a stylus, finger, or
other pointed object (avoid using sharp objects that may scratch the
screen). Three styli are provided: two mini styli that snap into a
holding bay built into the top of the case and a pen-size stylus. For
