I never really got the hang of using a touch pad mouse - hence on the last few laptops of mine, i'd always attached a mouse to it. BUT when I got my MBP, I was determined to learn how the trackpad works and it sure didn't take me too long to get used to it It's convenient and in comparison to the touch pad, it's really not that difficult to get used to

In the last couple of weeks, I been using Keynote quite often and realised it's easier to maneuver using a Mouse (I use the Mighty Mouse) but perhaps I haven't set all the functions of the Mouse on mine, I can't quite say it functions much better than any other mouse out there

@ifer,
It took me less than a week (about 2-3 days i'll say) to get used to the trackpad. It's definitely much better than the touch pads.. seriously, u should try it IF u do ever decide to get a Mac, tell yourself you will use the trackpad and soon u'll realised the convenience of using it - plus, i just lurve NOT carrying the additional external mouse around *g*

@neekun,
I just found out about the two finger tap right click !!! *LoL*

And I certainly am *NO* fanboy!

@neekun,
I suppose it's been enabled on me end because all I did was tapped 2 fingers on the trackpad and ta-dah... the right click functions came on

Guess I still have a lot of tricks to learn about the Mac but I'll probably learn it as I go along - at least i'm able to get work done
