it's the one I'm thinking of,
it would be the first with the 'pencil' pointer in the keyboard. For all I
know, the first built in pointer (I'd not seen any prior to this). Of
course I really remember it running AIX and OS/2 at the same time (I hate
AIX, but sure wish they had released that product).
That must be it. The TP700 was the first with the TrackPoint (eraser
head).
The first DOS laptop with a pointing device was the GRiD 1550SX, and it
had an isopoint (tootsie-roll) similar to the Outbound Mac-clone.
