I worked on an Ampex Ace 200 with the touch screen from 90-95. You had to keep your fingernails really short or a couple of hours of taping on the glass hurt like hell. The touch screens would go out of alignment at least once a week. If you were a fast editor, you'd be three or four keystrokes ahead before you realized you were hitting all the wrong buttons. Loved working on it though.

back in my client days watching an editor use one. For a few minutes
I thought it was really cool. After a few more minutes it looked like
a really cumbersome way to edit. This would have to have been
roughly 1988-92. Is that possible?
I think:
This may have been the Ace Editor. As I recall, WNYW-TV in New York
had one back in the day. I knew an editor there, Marton Brown, who
cut Ch. 5's promos on it. I don't know much more about it than that.
