Don't forget the PB2400 has an ADB port and can use a traditional mouse. You
can connect a mouse to the ADB port to get a functioning clicker to access
and make changes on the trackpad the control panel.
I, too, have the trackpad set to use taps for clicks. I use the trackpad
when I am laptopping but return to mousing when I am working at a desk and
plugged into house power.
You can also use a headset microphone and speech recognition to handle some
of the clicking needed.
