    I like the Trackpoint too. My girlfriend has an old Tosh Satellite Pro that has one and I find it the best way by far to drive a laptop. Don't some Tosh machines still have one?

    Give a rest, for fuck's sake.

    We all know perfectly well that the role assumed by the second, third etc mouse buttons on other platforms has always been mapped to Apple's COMMAND, OPTION and CONTROL modifier keys. You may find modifier keys difficult, but the rest of the fucking universe can manage them quite well after 30mins Windows unlearning.

    A great many people infinitely PREFER the MOD keys.

    I was just saying to a friend of mine that what I REALLy wanted to see in 2005 was a new flash memory card format introduced that was smaller than SD.

    Do you know I can only carry two or three thousand SD cards with me at any one time? I'm glad to see someone's working on alleviating this huge problem.

    "Think about when the UK finally gave up India as a colony. This left India in a very hard way economically"

    The relationship between Britain and India is SO much more complex than this it's laughable. There's virtually nothing that India cannot do alone if it wants to, but they are pragmatists above all.
