I was wondering if it was possible to scroll with the trackpad. I'm used to that little extra bar on the right side of windows machines that you can move your finger up and down on to scroll. Anyway to do it on the Mac?

Macs are brilliant ;D

Using 2 fingers on the trackpad, moving up & down, left & right is scrolling. It works flawlessly.

Cheers

Well if you have anything newer than the 2005 iBooks, then you just run two fingers on the trackpad and it scrolls. Same is true for right click (two fingers and click).

If you have a newer Mac and scrolling doesn't work, it may not be turned on. Under System Preferences>Keyboard & Mouse>Trackpad, check "use two fingers to scroll."
