Repli-Carter could not possibly upload the patch by touching the screen. It has been suggested that touch-screens did allow data input. However, the fastest connection you would have got up from a touch-screen in 2004 would be over P/S2 which operates at between 10 and 16.7 KHz. Even assuming 100% signal efficiency, at maximum rate it would take 47.56 years to upload the 3Tb file mentioned.
