    I knew there had to be at least _one_ other trackpoint fan out there!

    Do you know of any new machines w/trackpoint other that IBM?

    I've always been solidly in the IBM camp, but now that I find out my
    new T43 forces me to use only IBM-branded/modified HDs ($$$ to
    upgrade/replace) I'm trying to return it and look elsewhere.
