I'm glad I'm not alone... I loathe touchpads, and when I had a company laptop with one which couldn't be disabled in the bios I resorted to sticking a sheet of plastic over it. I've had a series of Thinkpads of my own, largely because of the "blob" (and decent keyboard, and generally good build quality), though a couple of them developed screen failures.
I've just realised I could actually do that, thank you - not having had one before it actually didn't occur to me as something to go and do upon its arrival. (I've not had this machine very long at all, so it's not like I suffered with it for years. *g*)
