You can buy a Magic Trackpad and pair it with your Thinkpad no problem. It's much more comfortable to use it side-by-side with your keyboard, most of the time I'm reaching for the Trackpoint if my hands are on home row.

Yeah, that works great on the bus. It's one more thing to tote around to meetings, but hey, at least I didn't have to buy a MacBook!

Or I could just buy a Mac and not have to resort to hacks to get a decent trackpad.

If I use one of my Macs then I have to resort to hacks to get a decent OS. A crappy trackpad is ~10-20x less annoying than a hostile OEM, at least for my non-bus-based work.

In any case, my response was to cromka's comment and our shared dissatisfaction with Asahi.

		I never said I am dissatisfied! The the contrary, it's way better than my Thinkpad even with Linux. I just miss the fingerprint scanner..
