Der Hauptgrund ist das Touchpad, das ich nie verstanden habe und auch wohl nie verstehen werde. Dem großen John Crowley geht es scheinbar nicht besser:
I CAN’T MAKE THE LITTLE TOUCHPAD WORK RIGHT. I didn’t think I was so incompetent, or so bypassed by technology. I mean I know I can’t play vdeo games, and I still can’t really touch-type, but THIS. In the past I’ve always had ThinkPads with the marvellous little red button or dot in the middle to manipulate with its peculiar gritty texture and yielding firmness (we ThinkPadders sniggered about its resemblance in form and action to a female body part discovered by Columbus in the 16th C.) and that was easy but this is impossible. How (for instance) am I to hold down the left “mouse” button with my thumb and push the cursor along with my forefinger? It seems the equivalent of those Armless Wonders who lit their cigarettes or drank tea with their feet. That is they lifted the cups to their lips with the foot; the tea was drunk by the usual organs.
