Hello Peter,

did you think about Thinkpads? For me, having physical buttons above
the touchpad is the reason to have the thumb on it... That is, while using
the trackpoint.
(This particular touchpad also is a clickpad, but there is (older) models
with non-clickpad touchpads...)
This also goes for patch number 7; it is the right (me being right handed)
side of the touchpad that gets the thumb, not only the lower part. (And the
left side for left handed people)
