Of my vast collection of laptops, I use only the most recent two. One started life under W7, the other under W8. Of course, MS eventually cajoled me into "upgrading" them both to W10! Their scrolling-by-gesture works in opposite directions and I have yet to bother fixing one to match the other. Consequently, it always takes a few swipes to figure which way to scroll.
So, it's not just Apple; MS has blindly followed, but not yet standardized. :-( Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 22, 2016, at 13:23, Paul Gilmartin > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Somewhat like ISPF scrolling.
