I don't think I've ever met anyone who likes a trackpad after using one of the 
mouse nipples. I'm also surprised that it's a significant price difference 
between nipple and trackpad. Anyone know why laptop manufacturers insist on 
giving people trackpads, rather than a better (and more compact) mouse-a-like?
