are there any notebooks with mouse-sticks?

Aloha Gary,

The HP Mini 1000 has a pad and it is not good. If I accidentally brush 
it with a finger it acts as a click same as the mouse buttons do. I 
think this is a terrible feature. ( No way to kill it either I checked. 
)I thought it was because I have large hands, but Julie has trouble too 
so she brought out a USB wireless logitech mouse from her stash of stuff 
and it works fine.

Good Luck...
