I've tried touchpads a couple times and can almost get used to them. I worked with them for a little while and could use them fine, but I'd catch myself almost subconsciously avoiding its use by using all the keyboard shortcuts I could. It seemed easier to reach out and throw a mouse around than to slide my finger around. Maybe going from a fat finger gross control mode to a fine control mode was too much of a mode shift? I've been thinking of giving a trackball a try (maybe that Logitech model mentioned here recently), but I don't know. We'll see what Santa brings :-)).
