Trackpad fingerfehler

I haven't used a mouse in years. The reason? I haven't used a desktop computer for years. All laptops have trackpads instead of mice. Not all trackpads are created equal, however. Some have left and right "mouse" buttons, and others don't. My old laptop had these buttons, but my new one doesn't. To do a "left click", I need to click in the bottom lefthand area of the trackpad. To do a "right click", I need to click in the bottom righthand area of the trackpad. I find this annoying; I like physical buttons better. This is all to set the stage for an unfortunate incident that occurred in last night's session. At a critical time, I clicked on the "Fold" button in the PokerStars client by mistake. I had made a straight, and would almost certainly have won the hand had I called the river bet of an opponent. I was just trying to click on an innocuous piece of screen real estate to get rid of a PokerStars window I'd accidentally caused to appear, in part due to my lack of practice with button-less trackpads. So I guess that was two fingerfehlers, strictly speaking. I lost of huge chunk of my stack, and narrowly missed making the money in that tournament.
