i agree, the nub is not always the right tool for the job. but there are times when i am typing and the nub is much more convenient. all i have to do is extend my index finger. not ever having to leave the keyboard. i use both on my thinkpad and cant imagine using one without the other.
i have used vista, it came with my R61 Think pad. there was nothing "wrong" with it. other then the fact that it used almost 500 mb of RAM for idle processes. when XP uses at most 200. i actually have it down to almost 90 :)
"I am trying to configure out a really dumbed down and intuitive PC for my grandmother. She recently had a stroke and while she is under my care I would like to repurpose a laptop for her to surf and email her children. Anyone have any experience with what input devices and UI's are really understandable for the over 80 crowd?"
