I do like the fact that things are much more accessible today than they
have been in the past. However, some hardware manufacturers sacrifice small
but really good feature sets (they'll put them in then remove them) for the
sake of some parable of standardisation.

My classic example: the touchpad disable feature, available on most
laptops, has been removed as an internal feature of the touchpad. I have
had to find a solution in software, which does not disable button clicks,
to work around the problems removal of this feature from the hardware has
created. The solution I have landed on now is buggy in that once the
touchpad is disabled, it sometimes cannot be re-enabled without rebooting.

There you go...
