Hi Tim, I fully understand and agree, however, things get even more strange. I have never used any “mouse” or “trackpad” with my “MacBook Pro” other then the built-in one. On the “MacBook Pro” which I have just upgraded to “OS X 13.5” from “OS X 11”, I have two users. User One; I turned “trackpad” off when I was still running “OS X 11” about two years ago, and it is still off. User Two; I used mainly for trying things out, so I never turned the “trackpad” off, but now that my usage has or is changing, I tried to turn the “trackpad” off and found I cannot. So my question is “double edged” where would I find the toggle to turn on or off the “trackpad”? or will I have to go back to “OS X 11”? Cheers Stan ZA
