I tried trackballs and various kinds of mice. Then, I switched to laptops and I decided to only rely on the touchpad. So I forced myself to learn keyboard shortcuts for all the programs that I use regularly, which sped up my productivity and now I only use a mouse for occational gaming.

- pyre 17y agoTrackPoint is the one reason I'm really reluctant to get a netbook. I'll just stick with my X41 (or maybe get a used X60 or X61) until they get a netbook with TrackPoint.
