I've owned several laptops that only featured "the nipple" and I had one where it every so often would get stuck in a single position whereby it would always go off to the top left. This seemed to happen after having owned and used it for a year or so.

I have also owned several laptops, both Windows and Mac OS X based and my MBP's trackpad is far superior over any other trackpad I've used.

The best feature of the trackpoint is scrolling. You can scroll with it by pressing the middle button and move the trackpoint around. I'm using this all the time and i like it more than two finger scrolling.

Yep, you are not the only one. I've had a laptop with a nipple, and it started to move around all on it's own.

The same is true for my brothers old dell laptop and my dads not so old dell laptop.
