    I also hit the pad and/or the pad buttons by error. But there are
also errors with the keyboard alone: I never hit intentionnaly the
<home> key, but it is unfortunately close to the <backspace>, which
causes me to type in the wrong place.

    Nevertheless I find the touchpad consumes less time and causes less
distraction than the mouse. I'm so used to it that I even use it when
editing graphics, an activity for which the mouse is surely more acurate.
