Anybody know if there is anything like > a "ThinkPad clone"?? A lot of ThinkPads have both, mouse pad _and_ mouse stick. <http://www.fabiankeil.de/bilder/produkt-erfahrungen/ibm-thinkpad-r51/aufgeklappt-auf-tepich-400x500.jpg>; I wouldn't count the mere existence of a mouse pad as a reason against a special laptop. If you prefer the mouse stick and only use the mouse pad by accident, you can disable the mouse pad in the BIOS. I did too. Fabian -- http://www.fabiankeil.de/
