daniel, Might be stupid, but maybe you could cover your trackpad with some type of adhesive film, or even some extra wide transparent tape and cut it very carefully to size so it doesn't show too much... I never tried this, but a first possible problem would be how the adhesive coat on the tape will behave over time (replace often... ?) It will also have the beneficial side effect of protecting it from your drool... ;-) Anyway good luck and good times on your PB! eric
