        I destest those scracth 'n' sniff pad; hard to move cursor 
        by rubbing; harder by scrtching.  Gotta be a better way.
        Till then, the tiny mouse-stick works.  (I do plug in a real
        mouse if I'm "mousing" seriously.  Google has a few hit on
        "thinkpad clone" but not in English.

        (*mumble*)
