Well, sort of. I used a Compaq with a touch pad for a while. The two
things about it that really annoyed me were:

1) Had to move my hands off the "home row" to do a "mouse" function.

2) The fleshy part of my thumb tended to rest on the touch pad,
causing the mouse cursor to skitter off somewhere undesired.

A dual pointing device machine that had both pointing stick and touch
pad would certainly solve #1. However, unless the touch pad can
actually be *disabled*, #2 would seem to remain.

Does Micron allow the touch pad to be disabled, leaving the pointing
stick active?

Ron.
