Yep I have a wireless mouse on the netbook. I also much prefer to use a mouse. Much easier to move the cursor around rather than scooting your finger on the stupid pad. Not to mention if your fingers are even a little sweaty it is harder to use the pad. And I never need to use my netbook anywhere but at home, so I always have a surface. I figure if I ever need to get on the net away from home, that is what my phone and ipad are for.
Anyway, I can definitely confirm now that the problem is fixed now that I have disabled the pad of annoyance LOL. Haven't had one instance of cursor skipping!
