Please would someone describe this 'mouse finger pad'. A friend and I
spent the whole weekend trying to guess what it would look like and how
it would work but did not succeed.

A mouse finger pad is a touch sensitive cursor control device that is
used in place of a mouse or trackball. It uses the mouse port on your PC
and you move the cursor around the screen by placing your index finger on
the pad and moving your finger instead of rolling a mouse or trackball
around. It has buttons just like a mouse or trackball for clicking on
icons etc. I've seen several people use them with notebook computers and
they really are quite interesting.
