What I also find amusing is watching people that have never used a laptop before fumble with a trackpad (there are surprising amount of people that have never touched a laptop - mostly people who buy $200 brand new eMachines) and they just don't get it.

People will put more than one finger on it, will hold their finger straight up in the air, do all sorts of crazy things.

one thing i do NOT like and never like was tappable trackpad-ing. I always accidently click on something or accidently drag something somewhere.

I prefer the trackpad. I also get a strange look when I do "NOT" want to use the mouse - even if somebody else brings a mouse with their laptop, and I need to use it for some reason, I got straight for the trackpad.

I had laptops BEFORE desktops, so I'm kindof backwards to everybody else. I was trackball first, then trackpad, THEN I had a mouse.

I think its kindof silly when people bring a mouse with their laptop. That defies the practicality and elegance of having a laptop.
