   by the way, Toshiba is marketing trackpoint II keyboards (they use a green
   button :-)

Are the trackpoints on IBM and Toshiba really the same? I tried
several different Toshiba and IBM notebooks. Whereas IBM's trackpoint
feels solid, Toshiba's feels wobbly. It seems that Toshiba's needs to
move slightly before reacting. I thought maybe I imagined this, so I
took off the green rubber cover and then it was completely clear (on
the two Toshiba notbooks I checked) that the trackpoint was in fact
moving a little before reacting--just like a very limited movement
joystick.
