Computer TouchPads

Personally, I'm a big fan of mice. Not the ones that run around and have big ears and tails, but the electronic kind used with computers. After a while it becomes so natural to you that when you aren't using one, you do the same thing. You want your whole hand to move when controlling the cursor. But recently, with laptops becoming more and more common, it seems people think touch pads are the way to go.
Most people have used a touch pad, and many of you reading this blog probably find them very easy to use. But that brings us to another problem: Macs or PCs. Macintosh computers have more or less the same touchpad as IBMs, Dells, and all those other PC brands. More or less. Those little changes can throw me off so much. With mice, every one is the same. Touch pads? Not so! The engineers making the computers don't understand that if you only used mice, nobody would get confused and not be able to do what they are trying to do. I recently bought a mouse for my laptop, and all my friends are so happy they can finally use it!
