Hi again Nancy,
I guess I will have to learn to hold my hands in a slightly different position... I think it really got a lot more sensitive because I have a fever at the moment. I tried earlier, and I really don`t have to physically touch the track pad... It is really annoying, because i type real fast, so before I am able to react, I have sometimes not only to another place, but also managed to select and remove something... If it gets real problematic, I will just have to try to cut a piece of plastic or something to put on top of it, but that is really not an ideal solution, having to remove it to use the track pad etc. Maybe I should ask Apple about it, if they have some ideas on how to deal with it... Did you ever do that?
The whole keyboard and the mouse button are also very different than the Pismo, I think. But I remember feeling that way when I got the Pismo as well, so I guess it is much a matter of getting used to it. But the track pad problem is really annoying. I just selected and deleted most of this pharagraph. Seconds later I typed a word in the paragraph above, before I just now suddenly was typing in the sentence above then a few seconds later moved back a few characters... I think things happened maybe 6-7 times just during this paragraph... That is a bit much...
I hadn`t got to doing anything about the keyboard set-up yet, but stumbled u pon it while using a program earlier, I saw the US flag showing in the menu. So I went to explore, and a little while later, I was typing touch as i always did. I just have to resist looking down at all, because I then suddenly doubt where things are. I got a keyboard ordered though, so I hope it arrives fast. I just have to find somebody to install it. A Mac dealer I know told me on the phone though that changing the keyboard wouldn`t affect AppleCare, but I should check whether it can affect it if I don`t use an authorized Apple workshop to do it for me. I got it ordered from a place out of town, so I can`t get them to do it. Another place I checked with, said they couldn`t just order and sell it to me unless I delivered them the computer for them to install it. I am sure that either my boss or my nephew (who has formal training in such things) can do it though, but I just want to be sure that I don`t get any problems. I would like not having to pay hours for doing it though, as the labor is real expensive here, and I already used a bit too much... Oh well, I`ll soon enough find out...
Thanks again for your help!!!
Aase :) ("Aw-Seh", not "Ace", even if some of my US friends call me that because they just can`t say my name)
Aase--FWIW, the "jumpiness" of the trackpad on my ibook is something I'm still not used to, especially compared to my Pismo. I've fiddled with the settings on it and it doesn't seem to help, so I guess it's just something I'm stuck with. Enjoy your new 'book!
