</div>I use a Thinkpad with TrackPoint and focus-follows-mouse every day, and<br>
I really got used to it. These nipples come in different shapes and<br>
sizes. I found that the small, convex ones are much less prone to<br>
accidental cursor movement than the larger, flat ones which seem to be<br>
installed by default these days.<br>
<br>
Incidentally, at work I sometimes use a Thinkpad which has both<br>
TrackPoint and touchpad. The touchpad is disabled in my own user<br>
account, but not in the login screen. I can't count the number of times<br>
I inadvertently rested my hand on the touchpad, causing the password<br>
field to lose focus while typing...<br>
