Fair enough. It's a free country... ;-)

Well, you can't type with one hand anyway, so you might as well use both 
to work the glide pad.

As for the scroll pads... now if there was some kind of divider between 
the part of the pad that scrolls things and the part that moves the 
mouse, that would be fine. (Indeed, having a vertical strip of pad would 
probably be easier than a scroll wheel - it's bigger after all.) But 
with no dividing line, it's frustratingly hard to make the thing do what 
you actually want.
