[QUOTE="mathogre, post: 310544, member: 25890"] Oh but there's a really neat way to do it. I'm assuming you have a MacBook or MacBook Pro. Yeah, I'm a noob meself, having just received my first MacBook not even 13 hours ago. Still, my 8 y.o. daughter and I were playing with it tonight using Photo Booth and Firefox. Then I saw her do something. She was scrolling web pages with her fingers. Turns out (and this is probably known to everyone who has been around for more than a week) if you hold one finger steady on the touch pad and stroke another finger elsewhere on the touch pad, the cursor remains steady and the page scrolls as much or as little as you want. Probably in a week I'll want some other cursor type device. I come from using a 3 button trackball on my Linux/Windows desktops, and a 3 button trackstick combo on my Linux/Windows ThinkPad. So far though, it's been a pretty decent experience. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
