iBook Eraser Head Question

[lukatmyshu]

Is there an iBook/PowerBook with an eraser-head available? Google-ing always yeilds reviews with multiple laptops featured.

IIRC no lukatmyshu, they all have touch-pads only 🙁

I don't think I've seen a single Mac with a pointing-nub ever, and this is everything from early PowerPC based Macs all the way up to the current machines.

That sucks ... I want an iBook but I REALLY hate eraser-heads

lol 🙂

seriously though, i've seen usb attachments that run a paper-thin cable to an eraser-head mouse point. it also comes with replacement g, h, and b keys so it fits right in the middle of the keyboard, like a traditional nipple mouse. if i can find the link again, i'll send it to you.

You get used to a touchpad after a couple days of using it.

Huh? You just said you wanted an eraser head in the first post?😕

i bet there's some sort of USB eraser head solution...

DANG! this is a cool keyboard

eraser heads are horrible,
i have a toshiba laptop with one of those and its the worst possible input device ever. Id rather have a pendulum tied to my penis that i'd have to point over a twister matt

Now that sounds pretty crazy!

So I'm wondering ... have you actually tried this method out or are you just speculating 🙂
And I really my error ... I meant to say I HATE touchpads. My sister's both have touchpads, and I can't stand using them. I have a IBM, and LOVE my eraser-head. So precise .... no accidental finger-touching making your mouse shoot across the screen.

Dolph ... you always come through. If only you weren't balding you'd be the perfect man.

heh, I don't think one could expect a Mac touchpad to make the mouse "shoot across the screen"
