I guess most of the people reading this will have seen some of the multi-touch demos by Jeff Han, Apple and Tactiva. I wanted to play around with some ideas that required a multi-touch pad, but there aren’t any devices available (Tactiva aren’t shipping…)

So you finally bought a Mac but your budget - like for most of us - is now completely depleted. How to get started with nothing?
