[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 989084, member: 38864"] Definitely upgrade to Snow Leopard. The rumor about it running slower if not preinstalled is utter hogwash. When I bought my first Mac Powerbook 7 or 8 years ago, I frowned on the single-button design, but figured it was no big deal. Control-clicking worked well enough, and in some situations it proved easier to use. It wasn't until about 3 years later that I finally saw it Apple's way completely… I was trying to use someone's Dell laptop and I kept accidentally hitting the right-click button, which was really ticking me off. There's no way I'd ever use anything but a Mac laptop now, especially the one I have now with the newer style of trackpad doubling as the button. If you have the multi-touch trackpad, here's a tutorial on using it: [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3211]Apple Portables: Using the Multi-Touch glass trackpad[/url] [/QUOTE]
