I took think the pad is a wee bit sensitive to the touch when I'm banging away at the keyboard. Sometimes my thumb will brush it and (at least w/in emacs) the "point" will just to where the cursor sits and I'm now entering text in the wrong place. Thank goodness for the powerful "undo" features of emacs. Solution: thumbs up!
Touchpads are misnamed; they don't require touch. There's some kind of proximity detector involved.
(I also learned to type on my mom's old Remington, with the green plastic keys. What a great old piece of machinery!)
Imperials were rather popular in my youth. At the bank, at certain times of the day, we queued for the NCR full-keyboard adding machine. We became adept at adding in our head, two columns of digits at once. I started a week after we went to decimal currency, I have no idea how they managed LSD.
