Point
ing
device
found on many
laptop
computer
s. Some people prefer these little
eraser
like protrusions to the
TouchPad
s or Track balls on other lap top systems. While I
like
this type of device, I must admit that the
rubber
on the
IBM
ThinkPad's trackpoint is covered in a
sand
paper
like substance and I no longer have a tip on my right
index
finger
.
