I was going to say that the touchpads are touchy, and I have occasional 
problems with random mouse actions. It happens to me on a Powerbook (OS 
X), Toshiba T1400 (XP and Linux). I rarely use XP (mostly for 
downloading Microsoft's patches); the Powerbook turns off is touchypad 
when I plug an external mouse into it. The Tosh with Linux is a pain.

But then I remember, IBM uses joysticks. I don't know about those.
