I've tried touchpads a couple times and can almost get used to them.  I worked
with them for a little while and could use them fine, but I'd catch myself
almost subconsciously avoiding its use by using all the keyboard shortcuts I
could.  It seemed easier to reach out and throw a mouse around than to slide
my finger around.  Maybe going from a fat finger gross control mode to a fine
control mode was too much of a mode shift?  I've been thinking of giving a
trackball a try (maybe that Logitech model mentioned here recently), but I
don't know.  We'll see what Santa brings :-)).
