Is there a software solution that will enable an iBook's touchpad to allow a tap to act as a click? -- Opinions expressed are not necessarily those of Bolen Books. Dale Friesen, Sysadmin Bolen Books, Inc Victoria, BC Canada dalef.RemoveThis (~=~) bolen.bc.ca http://www.bolen.bc.ca |

I use Sidetrack to add additional functions to the track pad. Works great. |

I don't have and Apple notebook but I'm considering getting one soon, probably a MacBook. Does this sort of thing exist for the MacBook, too? What is the difference between Dragging and Drag-Lock? When I've used notebooks at work, you move stuff with a double click that doesn't take the finger off the pad after the second tap of the finger. Is that how it works? Is there a way to get right-click, e.g. on the right side of the trackpage, or with two fingers, or something other than the Alt key? -- Dan Stephenson Photos, movies, panos from the Europe, USA, plus N.Z.: http://homepage.mac.com/stepheda |

With Sidetrack as a replacement driver for the touchpad (alternative to Apple's driver) you can designate a spot on the touchpad to scroll up and down as well as to activate a ctrl-click by touching a designated spot on the trackpad.
