I've used laptops for 17 years. I just got a Del a few months ago with one of those mouse touch pads. It drove me nuts until I figured out how to change the setting that sent a mouse click when you removed your finger from the touch pad. Before I had figured out how to change this, I Covered it with a lightweight piece of cardboard.
Even though I am a devoted laptop user, I also have a standard USB 101 key keyboard connected to the laptop. Some day I want to get one of those lightweight "Flexi-keyboards".

This is absolutely on the money. I'm forced at the moment to use a laptop with one of those accursed "touchpad" mouse gizmos on it and it's impossible. This is why I'm also using a USB keyboared that plugs into the laptop, giving me a standard keyboard with a normal layout, a slanted design instead of a completely flat one that's monumentally uncomfortable, but I also get my numeric keypad back. There's no way I'd ever use a laptop (except when forced to go portable) if all I had was its own keyboard. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lois Butterfield" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, August 10, 2006 3:57 PM Subject: Re: [jaws-users] Can we focus here? That happens to me when I haven't disabled the touchpad on my laptop. Just the heat of my hand over it will change the focus. Just an idea.
