Why I hate laptop touchpads

[Sark79]

They are difficult to use.

They give you a painful wrist.

They give you a sore finger.

They could possibly give you a guitar style callus on your favored finger.

They cause you to accidentally click links leading to the Official Dolly Parton website ( http://www.dollyparton.com/ )

They are very difficult to use with slightly damp hands.

They are responsible for making me seem a worse poker player than I usually am because of causing me to incorrectly bet when I should fold.


My mouse broke earlier and I have been forced to use my touchpad.

Does anyone actually use these things all the time?

I am resiisting the temptation to change your post into something rude!

I use a touchpad all the time - no problems with it.  Not had the Dolly Parton thing yet.

I often incorrectly bet when I should fold and vice versa, the vast majority of the time it's feck all to do with me using the touch pad though.

I use the touchpad all the time but had to turn off the 'tap to click' option as I had made a few misclicks (well that was my excuse)

'They are difficult to use with slightly damp hands'. Dry them? lol

Just after you have washed your hands, they are still damp even after drying them unless you have a fan.  I prefer mouse control.

I always have to turn this off, otherwise I click everywhere

Thank you for posting the link to Dolly Parton's website. Yay Dolly! Jen and I have been to Dollywood, you know. Awesome day out.

With a thread title like this from anyone else, I would have bet £1 against £10 that a hand history would be involved.

From Sark though, it's obviously going to be a treatise of sorts.

[Sark79]

Every hand history of mine shows I played the hand poorly and I am crap.   I could include one if you want if it will add to the thread?   Or I could tell everyone a penguin joke instead.   



What does a penguin mother say to her kids before they leave for School?     


Beak careful out there............................

If your mouse breaks at an inconvenient time, a good temporary substitute can be made using a beef burger and a few strands of spaghetti.

[Sark79]

I just googled for that Red and couldn't find a walk through on how to make one.  Does it matter if the beef burger is Asda smart price or does it have to be an expensive type of burger?
