I still couldn't appreciate the touch pad because it makes things slow for me. Perhaps I'm not just used to it; my fingers prefer clicking. In fact, two days after I got myself a laptop, I went back to the store to buy a mouse. That made my touch pad useless as it hasn't been used since then.
Today, I'm trying to run my fingers over the touch pad once again. But I am yet to disconnect the mouse any time soon.
