Marta:
That picture on my book was taken ten or twelve years ago. How about
a recent one?
Anyhow, I am probably as old or older than anyone in this
organization. I joined the navy in 1943 so you can guess at my age.

I did love Neal's answer, not that I use a trackpad, but my fingers
are getting so bad and without feeling in the end, I have the
hardest time typing. I either lose a letter altogether or type
threee or four in sequence as I just did and left it alone for you
all to admire. I also have lost my reach and I get totally wrong
letters in, those sitting close to the one I try to find. To write
an email now does take everything out of me. I spend more time
correcting than writing.
The mouse has the same commands as the trackpad. I learned the
inertia etc from Jonathan.
And Neal, how about putting that picture of yours up which is on
the back of your book. You don't look at all as even ever having to
deal with rheumatism.

Nice try Neal, but no, my rheumatism isn't too bad these days. I
did manage to figure out what was causing this, and I'll pass it
along to the group in case anyone else has the same problem.
In System Preferences, under Universal Access, there is a button
for "Trackpad Options…" Clicking that button brings up a window
with a "Scrolling" checkbox. That checkbox had somehow gotten
turned off, so I put a checkmark in it and now the two-finger
scrolling is working again. I had never seen this option before.
Another discovery is that it allows you to set it "with inertia" or
"without inertia." I wasn't exactly sure what this meant but it
became clear when I tried it both ways, which was pretty neat. I
left it as "with inertia," which means that when you scroll with
your fingers the window will keep scrolling for a bit after you let
up, which feels more natural to me. The other setting will stop the
scrolling as soon as your fingers stop. There also is a Scrolling
Speed slider in that window.
Amazing the things you discover by just clicking around in these
System Preferences.

Any ideas on why two-finger scrolling has stopped working on my
MacBook Pro trackpad? I checked system preferences for the
trackpad and everything seems to be checked as usual.
Could the problem be rheumatism?
