We had the same problems w/ the touchpad here in Nepal. Nothing ever fixed the problem, though we never tried wrapping our fingers in cloth. That is quite novel. The new touchpad is 1 million times better. Our kids almost never have trouble w/ the new touchpad. That said, kids w/ the old touchpad are out of luck. -- Bryan W.
