     provide its customers with the best possible touch-based kiosk 
     solutions by forming alliances with major kiosk solution providers," 
     says Annemarie Feely, Elo marketing manager.  "The concrete evidence 
     of this program's success is that Elo's touch solutions are most often 
     chosen over our major competitor for use in kiosk applications.  Frost 
     & Sullivan reported that Elo's touch technology was chosen by 46 
     percent of those companies who implement touch-based kiosk solutions 
     in the United States..  So, we are delighted to receive this accolade

     on the right track."
