1. In a touch-input computer and related supported display employing touch force location measurements, a method of eliminating errors introduced into force and/or torque measurements by undesired inertial interference motions of one or more of the support, mechanical system of the display and/or force measuring apparatus itself, that comprises, sensing one or more components of force and/or torque applied to the display by touch forces to provide force and/or torque measurements uncorrected for inertial interference motion effects that arise;

  • sensing lineal and/or rotational acceleration of the display in response to such inertial interference motions; and

    correcting the uncorrected force and/or torque measurements in response to the acceleration sensing to achieve substantial elimination from the measurements of the effects of such inertial interference.
