Free gadget for moving pointer out of the way?

Can anyone recommend a good, free download that automatically moves the pointer out of the way when you type?

Update:

James - Thanks, but I know there is one that works in all programs, but can't remember where I saw it.

Update 2:

STOCKSRM - Thanks, but with Vista, settings don't work. I have that box checked, but it's useless!

    Many applications like word have a "hide pointer while typing" option. this would only work while typing in a particular program though.
