I'm gonna change the way computers are used forever.

laptop computers that is.

so... you see the touchpad on every modern laptop? what if
you put the buttons on top of it instead of at the bottom?

it's fucking uncomfortable to use them because the thumb
ends in an awkward angle, if they put the buttons on top one
could use the middle finger to click and the index finger to
move the pointer, and it's be tons more comfortable. I'm
gonna sell this idea to steve jobs now!.

my laptop has a lovely scroller on the right-hand side of
the touchpad. Groovy.

Some Thinkpads already have buttons above the trackpad.

indeed! long live the multidirectional two-fingers scroll!
it's a real life saver, like expose.

hahaha

my pc-colleagues think i'm a magician when use expose and a
hot corner to switch windows. a quick move with the mouse,
and of i go. and then for the finale, switching to xp with
the cube effect.
it gets them every time. pc-simpletons!
