  TrackPoint
       
           (Or "pointing stick", "nipple") A small knob found
          in the middle of some keyboards that works like a very short
          isometric joystick.  Pressing it toward or away from you or
          from side to side moves the pointer on the screen.  Ted
          Selker brought the concept of an in-keyboard pointing device
          to IBM in September 1987.  TrackPoint was introduced in 1992
          on the IBM ThinkPad and later on some desktops.
       
          It takes up virtually no extra room on the box or the work
          area and also requires minimal movement of the hands from the
          keyboard.
       
          Many imitations of highly variable quality appeared.  Pointing
          sticks have also been used in many other notebook brands,
          including TI, HP, Compac, Dell, but NOT Toshiba or
          AST.
