I've been using trackpads more or less continuously since spring of 1998. No problem.

Trackpads.

Whatever.
Yes, I know what Wikipedia says. When was that written?
Here is a part of the original manual of the Macintosh G3 Powerbook — with my highlighting:
Moving Items on the Screen
You use your PowerBook trackpad to move items and select items on the screen. To move the arrow pointer on the screen, slide your finger across the trackpad. To select, click, or double-click an item on the screen, press the trackpad button.

Trackpad button
The trackpad is sensitive to how fast you move your finger. To move the pointer a short distance across the screen, move your finger slowly across the trackpad. The faster you move your finger, the farther the pointer moves on the screen.
You can find more information on setting up your PowerBook trackpad in the online help, available in the Help menu.
