I also have a heck of a time using built in mousepad as

things didn't want.

Having said that it occurred to me that one solution
night be a voice recognition software such as Dragon
Dictate.

Anyone using such software with their laptop for mostly
hands off use?

And.....any reason a laptop such as the 1420 can NOT
run such software?

If you do get it, get a really good headset. I use a Plantronics USB
one.

Check out user reviews on Amazon or CNET or any other place you can
find them.

Google for headsets that work with Dragon Naturally Speaking.

I also have a bluetooth one but haven't had time to try it yet. I'd
go wtih a direct connect though for quality notes.
