Not that kind of IT; my practice specializes in (mainly large scale) systems implementation and process improvement.

BUT on that note, are you referring to the virtual buttons on the touch pad vs actual buttons? I've had limited time on the new touchpad (my wife has one) but I haven't had any issues when I do use it. I rarely use touch pads anyhow, never really liked them so I have a wireless mouse on all my laptops.

I always liked actual buttons, but the integrated touch button do not bother me too much. However, I don't like when they cram them into a really small touchpad as my fat fingers tend to cause problems.

I hate touchpads in general. Most of them are too touchy and when I try and click something the cursor shoots off in a random direction.

so this am it was raining like a crying biotch who missed a weekend mega-sale.

if there is no snow, i might

be able to pull out my Z for the first time since mid-october.

i dont like driving on salt dust cause firing up the car in colder temps introduces exhaust steam and that can lead to salt sticking to the butt.

i dont like dirty butt.

ahhhh, so you're more like mr.onzedge speciality

my wife's expertise is in smaller business networks and programming.

yah, the virtual buttons. i hear hardcore thinkpad users dont like that because they are more accustomed to the red pointer and the mechanical switches.

i read all these negative reviews on my computer and im like

works great for me.

im okay with it as long as the screen is wide enough that i dont accidentally hit the adjacent key in portrait mode.

Trackpads or those little felt nubby things are ok, the touchpad is retarded.
