Hey Tom -
I can totally see the problem with a large button track-pad as
accidental clicking could in fact happen. I believe there is a
disabling feature to allow users to turn off the mouse feature on the
notebook. But for people who use appropriate keyboard positioning and
have full range of motion and dexterity in their hands, accidental
pressing of the trackpad/mouse should be no less common than the
already possible accidents on the standard mouse/trackpad.
If that made any sense whatsoever.
I'm more concerned about the loss of a firewire port.
