Okay--so I finally made the leap and got a PB 12". After years of being a PC user, I have to say that my switch to Mac has NOT been an easy one...not a bad experience, just a lot to learn. For example, I didn't realize how much I relied on keyboard shortcuts (formatting things like alt+f and the like...some of the Mac shortcuts involve three keys!! can't do that with one hand!) There are a few things about the OS of which I am not a huge fan...but I definitely like the idea that I can have ten applications open at once and not skip a beat--which was my most prominent complaint about Windows.
There is a problem though that's really bothering me--after having this thing for just a week, I've noticed the same thing happening repeatedly. I'll be typing something in AIM, or TextEdit, or a Safari form (this very post included) and all of a sudden my cursor will jump up a few lines and start typing there. Or, it will jump up and highlight a block of text--which will then be deleted as I continue typing. Thank god there's the Undo Typing command...
I don't understand why this happens. I have a sinking suspicious that it may be the trackpad that causes it--that it's really sensitive (and just too close to the keyboard). But sometimes I can't tell, and I think it may be the keyboard itself...anybody have any ideas? I've selected the option to "Ignore Accidental Trackpad Input" in System Preferences, but that doesn't seem to solve it.
I remember somebody posting about this a couple of weeks ago...sorry if I'm repeating things--I sincerely searced the forum for fifteen minutes looking for the original post.
Well, thanks all!
