Hi,

I got this new laptop as a present, a Saterlite A30. Trouble is, I hate
touchpads, hate them with a passion. It not that I cant use them, they easy
to control and has a nice tapping action, it just that i hate the feeling of
sliding my finger across the touchpad, especially if theres grime after
someone else using it. But even so, i hate it.

Is there an alternnative device I could use? Plugging a USB optical mouse in
works nice but it not always good when theres lack of a service to use. If
anyone have an idea I would be grateful.

John

Touchpads are the best input device you can get with a laptop. If you hate
grime, then wash your hands properly before working. *smile*

Ah go and fuck yourself!!! LOL, just kidding :-) Other users cause the
grime, not me. Emm a note on the computer that says wash hands before use
could help. lol. I dont think touchpads the best, not in a long run. The
nipple thingy is better. Oh and sorry for the empty message, damn touchpad!
lol
