Things I love

[hypatia42]

Another in the list. Possibly listed before, I'm not sure. My computer!

I have discovered the joy of watching my tv shows on the new screen and its great. One thing I have learned? If you find yourself in a horror/thriller, always look up.

RE: Mac vs. PC I remember my Dad getting very frustrated with me as a child. He never did understand why I felt the need to be at the end of whatever I was trying to erase from my document when he was looking over my shoulder at home. I understand that habit now. We worked on Apples at school. They don't have a backspace and a delete key. Only a delete key and it only goes one direction. Backwards.

Yay Mac love!

You can actually make it work like the PC delete by doing a Fn-Delete, and it will delete forwards!

But who deletes forward anymore?

I am so glad you mentioned this! I've been wondering! (As a recently-returned-home-to-Mac 'phile)

Is there a way to "page up" or "page down" while scrolling things? I can propeller-up or down to get to the top or bottom of the page, but is there a way for in-between aggregate scrolling?

If you find yourself in a horror/thriller, always look up.

Especially in elevators. True story: I board an elevator that has "pinged" on the floor on which I waited. I entered, and looked up. A service technician was, indeed (and likely against all safety policies of every stripe) looking down through a ceiling panel, holding a bundle of cable. I said, "Hi. Is it okay for me to choose a floor?" He said, "Yep." The elevator started. He said, "You know, you're the only one in two hours who looked up and saw me." I said, "I always check for ninjas." The elevator "pinged" and I departed. I think I heard him laughing as the doors slid shut...

Not sure in the Apple control panel. I know the Logitech one give you an option to change how the scrolling works. The are also the two finger trackpad options on the newer hardware which may do what your looking for.

I did find this: http://marcmoini.com/sx_en.html which may fit your needs.

If it weren't for Fn-Delete, I wouldn't love my spiffy laptop as much as I do. When writing, I like to delete or backspace as the text requires, not just from back to front.

News to me. Not surprising that I don't know everything about it yet I guess.
