>I'm on my fourth Toshiba notebook. This one is a Tecra 8200 that I've had for about 18 months. Each time I've upgraded only because the older got too slow for my needs. I think all three of the old ones (going back to the mid-90's) still run.

>Second, but perhaps more important to me, is that it has an eraser head pointer rather than a touchpad. I really dislike the touchpads and have never been able to get used to them. The eraser head is natural enough for me that when I switch back to the desktop, I find myself reaching for it.

And I thought I was the only one in the world who dislikes touchpads.:-)
