hey gang:

Maybe it's just me, but this HP laptop drives me friggin nuts when I'm typing
away.  Sometimes my mouse simply jumps to a random area in a document and I
realize I'm typing in a wrong field.

Is this a touch pad issue, or is it my big fat thumbs bumping the touch pad?
My old time gateway touch pad never seemed to do this. . .


FWIW, I have a Toshiba with an Alps touchpad and it never does that in
Dapper or Edgy. However, I think there's an option in the Alps driver
to turn the touchpad off and leave the fuzzy dot active.
