Agreed.  Using a T43 here and it has both the nubby and the trackpad.

The trackpad is disabled.  (Actually it's set up to be used as a 
scrollpad only, but I forget that it's set up to do that and forget ot 
use it.)

Having the trackpad disabled drives co-workers nuts if they grab my 
laptop, which is another plus.  :-)  It gets handed right back by 
whoever took it and can't figure out how to drive the nubby.  (And 
always gives me a good laugh.)

Actually at the office, it's usually in the docking station, and the 
dual-monitor support built into the laptop (using one external monitor 
and the internal LCD screen), rocks.

I've had three ThinkPads now, either from work or my own -- they're 
built like tanks, their features are well thought-out, and they "just 
work" when you fire them up -- every time.  Never had a serious problem 
with one, ever.
