Love those... I got spoilt on those on the past two

Thinkpad. I find it's a lot nicer to use the
{trackpoint|clitoris|nipple} pointer than a mouse, trackpad, or
trackball - your hands never leave the keyboard to use them like with a
mouse. It's always annoying to have to lift my hand off the keyboard
just to point at something. :-)
I don't think I've ever met anyone who likes a trackpad after using one of the
mouse nipples. I'm also surprised that it's a significant price difference
between nipple and trackpad. Anyone know why laptop manufacturers insist on
giving people trackpads, rather than a better (and more compact) mouse-a-like?
