I had my first TrackPoint contact when I joined IBM. They gave me a ThinkPad 755CD. They still owned the PC Division. There was no touchpad, so it took me about 30~60 minutes to get used to the trackpoint (maybe less). Since them I have had countless ThinkPads, personal and at work, an I always disable the touchpad entirely. I am sure that if most people had to use the trackpoint, they won't want to go back.
