Windows is required to VPN in? I'm guessing they use some proprietary client

Yes, and/or they validate the host ID, and/or there's some soft key
RSA thing involved.

Age: Aftershave (but I've began using it only a year ago xD)
Mousepad: No, but if I had to use a mouse, I prefer a mousepad
I currently use only my MBP's trackpad, and it is so customizable I ended up
buying a magic trackpad for my Mac at work as well. But, back in the days of
Windows I was using a mousepad, mainly because it just looks better than having
nothing at all.
Greetings.

40, and no mouse pad atm. Seems that this table top is okay.
This is an optical mouse without a ball underneath. However this
mac-y-mouse DOES have a ball on top, for scrolling.
Go figure.

I'm in my 20's and rarely, if ever, use a dedicated mouse. I've transitioned to
having all my workstations be laptops of one sort or another and they have
built-in trackpads. Of course I also rarely use the mouse when there are so
many keyboard shortcuts available.
When I'm on my MacBook (which is most of the time) I use the trackpad.
But in the unfortunate times I have to be on a Windows box I always
connect a mouse.
Slightly snobbish solution: Don't use windows.
I'm agnostic when it comes to operating systems. I use Windows, Linux
and Mac. I always go for a mouse. If the surface is really shiny,
you'll need something under the mouse. In the case of a shiny surface,
I've even used a piece of paper under the mouse in a pinch. I tend to
use a mousepad in those cases, though. I'm not using one at home, but I
do use one at work. It's a matter of taste.

Every time I see something about mice, i always remember this article from IBM
on how to care for your mouse. Best technical doc ever!
http://www.snopes.com/humor/business/mouse.asp
But in any case, 43
Use a mouse: yes mousepad occasionally depending on table surface

29 and don't use a mouse pad right now, although I did before I moved
because the surface of my desk was too shiny. That's the only reason I
ever use one now.

Age: 72 years, 7 days toothpaste, deodorant, aftershave. Don't need the rest,
yet.
Mousepad: Yes. I find it easier to clean the mousepad than to try to clean the
keyboard tray/desktop/whatever.
