may i borrow your mouse?

I definatly prefer a mouse, not only is it is easier it is much more comfortable. Also frpm a PC gamer prespective:) Its impossible to game on a touchpad.

Oh sure, I can let you borrow my mouse, but my house needs a cage to stay because it's very sensitive!! For me, I like the mouse because it's the one I'm used to, and besides, it's easier than the touch pad. In any case, we don't have any other choice when we are using a laptop. And so, we can just quit or to live by it as we continue to use it!

I actually prefer a touch pad over a mouse. I have played the piano and typed for most of my life, so I find that I have much more control of my individual fingers, than the wrist movement that I need to move the mouse. Also, where I am sitting now (on the couch) there is no place to put a mouse next to the computer. I like to have everything in one place in a self contained unit.
