Scrolling Trackpad on an ibook?

[whyrichard]

Anyone know if i could get that wonderful two finger trackpad function that the new powerbooks have on my ibook? is it just a trackpad driver?


thanks,

p.s. whats the big deal about rss feeds?

iScroll.

Google it. Works great.

Some iBook users also swear by SideTrack, though it is shareware...

iScroll.

Google it. Works great.

Except it causes Tiger to be useless on some people's computers, which then reqiures a reinstall of Tiger.

But if you want it bad enough....

I seem to recall iScroll not working with all ibooks and having issues with Tiger.

Search for SideTrack at VersionTracker or MacUpdate--you can do all kinds of stuff with it...

sidetrack is the shizzzz
i have an older powerbook , and wow its awesome
i can horizontal and vertical scoll . left and right click , all without leaving th etrackpad .. its seriously worth the $ . and i NEVER think that about shareware . and its soooo customizable . A+++

I haven't had any trouble with iScroll2 and Tiger at all (on a Powerbook).

I can vouch for iScroll as well. Works great on my iBook and it is a much more elegant solution than the dedicated scrollpads on most PC laptops.

It's all about saving time.

Think about it. Everytime you sit down in front of a computer, you probably visit some of the same sites. Each time, you scroll past the ads to get to the content. Imagine, opening a single webpage or application, and all of the new posts/updates are brought to you rather than you having to go find them. It's an incredible time-saving technique.

I personally recommend NetNewsWire .

iscroll works great in firefox for me, but not in safari. for whatever reason it just doesn't scroll as well as the others. But I never use safari so it doesn't really bother me.
