I have a laptop at work and a laptop at home.  And, both of them have touch pads.

Now, the touch pads are a nice idea but they are lacking in functionality.  It seems like I have to tap the touch pad several times before it selects what I want.  And, I find this to be rather maddening.

You see, I am never sure if it didn’t see my tap or if the computer is just slow.  And, it doesn’t seem to matter if I lightly tap it or if I give it a good rap.  It just doesn’t respond.

I guess this is advanced technology, but it still needs improving.
