I'm with you on this. I prefer using the keyboard. My macbook pro has a track pad, and I've attempted to use it from time to time just to see if I could learn the jestures, but so far, I haven't had much luck. My logic was that if I could teach myself the trackpad, I might eventually be able to learn an Ios device. I'll be interested to see what kinds of answers you get to this question, that's for sure!

Hi, My wife and I were pondering on the subject of trackpads in relation to using VoiceOver, and we thought we'd tap into the collective whisdom here. What, if anything, does a trackpad allow you to do that you can't do with the keyboard? Or is it merely another interface to the same commands? I know some of you have varius macbook models where a trackpad comes as standard, but we have an iMac and want to know if a trackpad is something we should consider purchasing. But we're not going to buy one if all it does is make Mac OS X feel more like iOS. Any thoughts will be appreciated. Thanks.
