'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Whereas I took at least a year to get used to the touchpad on my iBook....
Huh.
I was surprised - it took me no time at all (maybe a week or two?). I can use the touchpad with left or right hand equally well, which is weird because I can't really use a mouse left-handed.
I use a big trackball mouse lefthanded at work, but have never really gotten used to touchpads, but I have also never been in a situation where that was my only option. I'm sure I could get used to just about anything given time.
I dislike both touchpads and touchpoint dealies equally -- I'd much rather just carry an extra mouse.
For a while, I was priding myself on my ability to use Windows, and almost any Windows app, without ever touching anything but the keyboard.
Edited because "toughing" is not "touching."
I love touchpads, but hate the keyboard clitoris. I'm also a big trackball fan.
OMG amych, I am so with you. Every time I have to use my boss's laptop, he has that eraserhead clitoris thing, I get so frustated...gah, now I'm going to feel like a dirty girl next time I use it.
As long as you don't start licking the keyboard. Not that the keyboard wouldn't appreciate it, but it might take some 'splaining to the boss.
I hate that eraserhead thing. Dammit.
Apparently, Tivo is putting the price of the box in the monthly fee and has "quietly" dropped the lifetime subscription option. People are kind of pissed about this:
and has "quietly" dropped the lifetime subscription option.
t "quietly" scraps plans to purchase a TiVo at some future date
