typing on it. Especially if you are a touch typist. That's even more important if you are writing code, because there is no spell checker for programming!
I wouldn't be able to code on a laptop, not for long; but yes, I have done it. I produced less when using a thing with small screen and small keyboard. I prefer a full size and fully featured keyboard with a solid feeling, plus a good trackball (and a huge screen). Others will prefer a mouse, of course. The laptop was for field trips. On ocassion, I traveled with my office desktop; I just requested the client to provide me with a spare display :-) On my laptop I have a touchpad, and I like it. I had one laptop with both a touchpad and something I don't know the name, perhaps a trackpoint: a tiny rubber joystick placed between four keys. I couldn't use that thing, hated it. The advantage is that you can easily setup the laptop anywhere without cables or much table space. Otherwise, just plug in a real mouse (and keyboard!) - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.
