a lot of apps let you do that, DCJ. do you read on your phone or on your computer?

there are apps like Tweetdeck.
That's a bit more invasive that I had envisioned.
question! i just bought my very first Mac. it's an iBook G4. i've gotten super used to using the scroll bar on the track pad on my PC. is this an option on the Mac?
sidenote: wheeee!!! i'm really interested in getting into video editing and i could NOT pass up the deal for this. so here we are!
Try using two fingers to scroll.
hmmm...nope. nothing!
tiggy, I think there are third-party mouses you can use that have a way to program scrolling in. Wish I had better advice, but I just click and drag my scroll bars the old-fashioned way.
tiggy, the iBook G4 had to have special software installed to enable 2-finger scrolling, if I recall correctly (that was three laptops ago for me. I'm kind of hard on them.) To confirm, you could click the Apple Menu in the upper left corner, choose System Preferences, and choose "Trackpad" (or it may be called "Mouse and Trackpad" or something, depending on your operating system version) then look through those preferences and see if you can enable 2-finger scrolling.
If it's not there, you could try installing this: [link] which will add that ability.
bless you, Gris! that worked like a charm!
