Touch pads

[David Leeming]

It does seem to be the case there are some especially bad ones. I am getting
the serial numbers and will post them here in a few days. However, to
duplicate the situation, all I can suggest is that we have seen this in all
our Pacific Islands deployments but the hotter and more humid, the worse the
effect.

It's strange. I was working with XOs at OLPC in Camrbdige for months,
never having seen a problem (with 8.1) and wondering what the fuss was
about. But per my experience in Ethiopia, this was a really common
problem.
