Oh my. Would that it were so, mate. :)

I have a combination sysadmin grip / Emacs claw. The fact that I
manage close to 80 WPM on a good day surprises even me, given the
extremely unorthodox typing method I employ.

I use arrow keys to navigate in XEmacs, Firefox, and bash. Does that
give you the datapoint you needed? :)

Luckily for me, I do all of my computing on laptops, so the Trackpoint
is right there. And you are right, I *love* it. I've been
Trackpointing for a long, long, time, and the next time I find myself
in front of a PC, I will be sure to purchase a keyboard with a
built-in Trackpoint.

Holy shit, Curt! We just agreed on something!

I can just make out Simon, Matt, wileyc, and Steve mounting up in the
distance... ;)
