Quoted: Robert,
I feel your frustration when spending valuable time typing a response to any given post....
I have "lost" many a responses because of my laptop "touchpad" and it's very aggravating.

OOOOHHHH!!!
My last laptop did that to me all the time. No way to disable the touchpad (I use an external trackball...) in the BIOS of this particular model (Gateway Solo 9300)
Work upgraded me to a different laptop (Gateway Solo 9500) and I had almost finished typing a gigantic post into another website when my thumb tagged the pad - it highlighted the majority of my text, and I typed over it, deleting it.
AND WEBFORMS DON'T HAVE A FREAKIN' "UNDO" BUTTON!!!!
Luckily, for this laptop and it's touchpad (I was about ready to disassemble it and chop the wires for the pad), the BIOS has a disable feature.
Apparently enough people complained about that one...
