2 finger scroll is brilliant

man it saves so much time to be able to scroll with 2 fingers. it feels way more natural. i am used to a trackpoint (little red eraser head). your supposed to be able to tap the eraser head like a track pad but the response is awful. you practically have to snap your finger.

so its nice to have good tap response again plus the scrolling. no questions just loving the comfort so far.

Yes I love the two finger scrolling too. I was using a Windows XP laptop earlier and I noticed myself trying to scroll with the two fingers.

Don't forget about the two finger "right click" too.

as handy a feature as it is, i find it a little bit glitchy at times..I still use it allot .

I actually just roll my entire hand on it. I think it recognises scrolling as "Two or more fingers"

It's one of my favourite things about my MBP, I always try and do it on other laptops and then complain when I realise why it's not working

lol I used it to scroll down the index its really cool

It works sideways too! You aren't limited to vertical scrolling. ^_^

wait a sec.. what is a two finger scroll??

You place two fingers on the trackpad of your MacBook/MacBook pro and scroll with them as you would with a scroll wheel/ball on a mouse.

it makes my like 10X easier

Don't forget it has to be enabled first if i'm not mistaken.

Weird that doesn't work for me on Tiger. As soon as I put a third finger down and scroll it doesn't respond.

Maybe it's cause I don't have one of those two-finger scroll capable laptops. So I used iScroll to enable that feature on my iBook....

I love it, is this a Apple patent? Makes lying on the couch and surfing the net so much easier.

It was enabled by default on both my MB & MBP.

God...I do it all the time on my work laptop (Dell).

when i installed boot camp, the driver it provided for xp allowed me to scroll with 2 fingers. tapping doesn't work though which is rather annoying. a standard feature pretty much on every touchpad.

When you have the option enabled, when you tap your trackpad it "right-clicks" aka ctrl-clicks.

oh thats good!
