The Macbook trackpads work better than all other trackpad buttons, but you're probably not using them.

I saw them at Art Center's Car Classic in 2006 or something. My dad also has these beautiful lithograph paintings of their construction (wood frame!). He's always been obsessed with them, and got me into loving them too.
