Heh. I know, I just think web stuff is overused :-)

Well, there will be need for buttons. When I say buttons, I mean on screen 
"Clickable" squares that are large so they can be triggered by finger 
press. To enter the quantity of soda being put in the fridge, if a guest 
wants a soda, stuff like that.

Yea but combining it with the screen stuff so it all runs together.
