a pointer stick is a stupid little button-like think in the middle of
your keyboard (usually at the intersection of the g, b, and h keys).
You push it in a direction, and the mouse starts moving in that
direction.  They were popular before touchpads were standard.  Anyway,
if you don't have one, then good!

ideas, sorry...
