Sometimes I've sat down at someone's desktop computer and started using it,
only to stop in bewilderment. I'm looking at the screen and the mouse
pointer isn't moving. It should be moving, I'm expecting it to move, but
nothing is happening. It's just not moving and I don't know why.

there's no TrackPoint!

In addition to the IBM models Chun-Yu mentioned, Unicomp (the company that
bought out the Lexmark keyboard technology) makes several:
