The each have advantages, there are many things that are much better with a trackpad, and a few that are much better with a good trackball (or a mouse if you like filthy rodents). Selecting multiple things from a list, for example, I use my trackball. Switching spaces, using Mission Control, editing photos, usimg the various gestures I've defined in BTT, scrolling, etc the trackpad is much better. > If I find myself forced to use a laptop for an extended period of time, > I usually hook up a mouse. -- Don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance; so are everybody else's.
