While a mouse is best, I much prefer a TrackPoint to a TouchPad.  In
fact I wish I could disable the TouchPad in the BIOS.  I first endured
one of those years ago on a Toshiba computer running Windows 95 and have
hated them ever since.

So, when I'm looking for a notebook, if there's no trackpoint, no sale.
