> The casual dismissal of TrackPoints in the grandparent comment shows that the author has never tried one. I've tried to use track points. A dozen or so times. Recently I got a new thinkpad from work and gave it another go, same result. I just don't like it. Granted, the trackpad on my thinkpad is also garbage. I prefer my external trackball mouse. Trackpoint fanatics don't seem to understand what works for them doesn't necessarily work for everyone. I find myself rolling my eyes a lot in threads like this.
