However, I am not you :) I have noticed my parents really struggle with a touchpad (to the point of using a mouse on the arm of the sofa) so I'm happy to concede the point that to a given subset of users, it may not be optimal. However, I have no idea what the size of that subset is, or what the size of the userbase is. So can't really say it's "a good thing for the majority" or "It's a bad things for the majority".
