Sorry about the Dec date on a few posts--I was checking on some plane
tickets and forgot to set the date back to Nov.

I agree with Jim. MS (and presumably other companies) sells small USB mice
for use with laptops. I have a wired USB model and carry it in my laptop
case--it works tons better than my touchpad. You can pick up a wireless
model for $20:

Sometimes the touchpad on the laptop gets "sticky," and when I try to
move the cursor from one area to the screen to another, it just goes
back to the initial spot. I can move the cursor as far as the
boundary of the touchpad, but that's it. If I can't access the place
on the screen I want to get to, then I have to use keyboard shortcuts
to do things. After a while, it seems to just revert to normal. This
also seems to happen if I open a PDF file. I'm using FireFox browser
on a SP2 OS with a P3 laptop. Any ideas?

Thanks.
