I did love Neal's answer, not that I use a trackpad, but my fingers are getting so bad and without feeling in the end, I have the hardest time typing. I either lose a letter altogether or type threee or four in sequence as I just did and left it alone for you all to admire. I also have lost my reach and I get totally wrong letters in, those sitting close to the one I try to find. To write an email now does take everything out of me. I spend more time correcting than writing.
The mouse has the same commands as the trackpad. I learned the inertia etc from Jonathan. And Neal, how about putting that picture of yours up which is on the back of your book. You don't look at all as even ever having to deal with rheumatism. Marta On Mar 20, 2012, at 9:23 AM, Dan Crutcher wrote: > Nice try Neal, but no, my rheumatism isn't too bad these days.
