The trackpad and trackpoint of my aging linux laptop stop working if the thing gets its lid shut. The touchscreen continues to work just fine, however. It turns out that while two stupid things can’t make a good thing, they can sometimes cancel each other out.

A handy benefit no doubt, but not quite the earth-shaking revolution the touchscreen hype-train promised at the time.
