Well, I fumbled plenty with my trackpad when I first got my Powerbook. ;-) A year and a half later I'm well past this point at least. I'm still faster on my mouse with the G3, but I'm competent with the trackpad at least when I take my Powerbook out. <People will put more than one finger on it, will hold their finger straight up in the air, do all sorts of crazy things.> Nope, I don't recall anything like this in becoming accustomed to my trackpad.... I just remember having problems making the cursor (or arrow) go exactly where I needed them. I often overshot or undershot my goal. <one thing i do NOT like and never like was tappable trackpad-ing. I always accidently click on something or accidently drag something somewhere.> Lucky for me, my trackpad has a clicker just below it. If I HAD to use a tappable track pad, sounds like it would drive me nuts! ~Yersinia. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
