I am the exact opposite. I love my track point. Hate touch pads. They take up too much real estate, are consistently being touched inappropriately (see what I did there... lol), and are hard to do multi click, and drag and drop operations with them. Touch screens have their uses but I think they are very limited (i.e. works best in an app only environment where interaction is menu/choice based). The younger generation would disagree... -Ali
