That's what I need for an IBM ThinkPad!  I can't stand the touchpads with
one button masquerading as a mouse, and the Apple laptop's keyboards leave
something to be desired as well.

The ThinkPad 600 I've been running for 6+ years now is not only getting
long in the tooth, but I wasn't able to replace SuSE 9.2 Professional with
SuSe 9.3 Pro because things just didn't work with only 220MB of RAM.
