i think that the keyboard advice is good, for specific cases that turn out
to be fairly common.

my toshiba (a 2805-S302) is my full time system. when it is on my desk, i
use a separate keyboard and monitor, and when i travel, i used the built in
hardware. 2 years, and the only thing that's crapped out is the cd rom
drive.

i do use an external trackball at all times, on the road or in the office.

i suspect a lot of folks are in this situation.
