Ok, I'm stumped. I have the current generation Alu Book 1.67. If I rest my hands too hard on the base of the computer, that is the area below the keboard and either side of the track pad it causes the cursor to jump around in things like an IM window or Firefox.

Has anyone heard of this happening before?

Thanks,

Josh

Make sure the trackpad is clean as well as your hands. What kind of environment are you in? Is it hot, cold, humid? Also, turn on "Ignore accidental trackpad input" in the trackpad preferences.
