Common term for the pointing device used on IBM ThinkPads and a few other
laptop computers. The device, which sits between the &#8216;g&#8217; and
&#8216;h&#8217; keys on the keyboard, indeed resembles a rubber nipple
intended to be tweaked by a forefinger. Many hackers consider these
superior to the glide pads found on most laptops, which are harder to
control precisely.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="Ninety-Ninety-Rule.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../N.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="NMI.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Ninety-Ninety Rule </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> NMI</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
