Have you tried a ThinkPad laptop with a TrackPoint device (the red
nipple between G, H and B keys)? In the past two-and-a-half years,
I used an external mouse only once with my R31 (which I use 12+ hours
a day), and find myself reaching for the nipple every time I sit at
a desktop. For me, it's simply unbeatable (although it took me about
a week to get used to it).

You only can't bring yourself to buying an Apple
laptop; I couldn't buy a non-ThinkPad one... :o)
