It's not just you. I also hate them. If it doesn't have a TrackPoint, I don't want it. I have ThinkPads, both at home & work. On both, I have disabled the $@@#@#@ touch pad.
I don't like scratch-pads OR trackpoints. I use an external trackball (Kensington), which, of course, does not add to portability! However, one point that has not been mentioned: you need a good keyboard, with all keys in familiar places, but most of all, it must have keys with sufficient travel to make typing natural, and the keys should not be "mushy." Your best bet, before you make up your mind, is to find a big computer or stationery store that has the machine you think you'd like, and actually try 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! --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
