Well, I'm getting more used to it, at least.
Oh, they have utilities to address that as well.

It is all about getting used to.. I've been used the touchpads for the past 4 years and I'm ok with them and graphic tablets, actually I dind difficulties using some wireless mice (especially those for only right handed, "ergonomic" models are jsut oo big and clumsy). :-/

Right, like I want something to emulate a scroll wheel.

It's taking me time to get used to not having a scroll wheel, is all. I've been using one for the past 3 1/2 years, so it just feels odd not to have one.

Touchpads I have no problem with - my first two macs were laptops. I also don't have a problem with the shorter keyboard.

I detect a message in there... I love meat, though, I couldn't imagine going vegetarian. Well, I could: it would suck for me.

Anyway, those of you who miss having a scroll wheel may be interested in a Griffin Powermate.

Or there was a prefpane you could download that enabled all kinds of neat interactions with your touchpad -- like drag down the right side and it does the same as a scroll wheel, triple tap = right click... I can't remember the URL, but it looked like a cool system.
