I like the multi-touch trackpad because I find that the trackpad left/right buttons quite stiff in comparison. A minor complaint I have is that there is no "right-click" multi-touch replacement when using it.

Thanks for your insight on the trackpad. It does seem like it take a bit of getting used to but it may be the wave of the future. I think the newer Macs use the same type of trackpad.

Your other reasons are very valid especially with going with a USB broadband device over an Express Card device. Personally, I would opt for USB devices where possible. I've already experienced an issue where a PC Card I own won't work in my netbook or any other device limiting me. If that PC Card was a USB device, I'd be able to use it. For the most part, USB devices work on any device for most OS platforms.

The only thing I use my Express Card slot for is with the boradband wireless card. I did some Googling and aside from some SSD Express Cards, there isn't a whole lot out there that makes the slot useful for me. So I'd also rather migrate away from it and toward USB (all my other peripherals are USB).

I do hate that the USB version sticks out so far but I think I can work around that with my mini-hub.

BTW, daffy4u, congratulations on your 3000th post.

Thanks for noticing (I didn't), though I think maybe a "shut-up" may be more in order than a Congratulations... but I'll take the Congrats anyway!
