Mary,
Are you saying that if a person is using the little keyboard without the
number pad or a laptop keyboard that the Trackpad is a much easier way to
go? I am considering buying the pad also, and this would make a big
difference to me since I am using a MacBook Pro.

Subject: Re: Why use a TrackPad?
I'm one of the folks who got the magic track pad but hasn't used it that
much. Carolin, I'm intrigued by your description of your friend's mapping of
keyboard commands and how you use these a lot, preferring them to multiple
key commands on the keyboard. I am going to guess you're using one of the
annoying Apple keyboards that lacks a full set of control command and option
keys on both sides of the space bar; thus you can't do for example, vo plus
A to continuously read without doing contortions with your left hand. The
loss of one lousy key on the right side, plus the loss of the numeric keypad
really seem to make the track pad commander more necessary on laptops. I'm
not sorry I got the track pad, because in those instances where you need to
click a physical mouse, as in on some websites for example, I find it easier
to use than the traditional mouse. But for voice over, it really hasn't
proven all that useful, as I don't see any reason to take my hands off the
keyboard.
