mouse nipples

[Curt at Atari Museum]

Mouse nipple... thats a new one...

The nipple - aka trackpoint or pencil eraser -

Early TP's had a reset to 0 issue in the early drivers, all models would 
later have an updated driver that corrected the drifting.   Have you 
friend update their trackpoint mouse driver from IBM TP driver matrix.
