i much prefer a nipple to a trackpad... (being serious). once you get used to it, it's far superior.

I use a USB keyboard. it is much easier. Then I raise up my laptop on my desk, on a cardboard box. It enables me to put a plate of food in front of me, without it getting on the keyboard. I have a keyboard sliding tray as well, so I can push it in, when I want some food, or just need to use the mouse.
