Jenny, first only the Aluminum MacBooks contain the multi-touch trackpad unless Apple upgrades the MacBook line-Remember the aluminum models are now referred to as the MacBook Pro line. Yes SL will work fine on your model. The most significant requirement is it must be an Intel processor since the Power PC chips, such as found in the G4/G5 machines will not be supported by SL. I'd recommend you have at least 2Gb ram, but 1Gb will get the job done. The commands, which are issued from the trackpad are the same commands you can issue currently with VO. It is another means to interact with the os using VO and it is hard to say what the future holds for such a trackpad and VO. The point is that if you have heard the iPhone demos, you can get an idea of how the trackpad could behave and a little imagination might lead you to speculate what Apple could possibly do in the future. So, have no fear and prepare to upgrade, it will be well worth it.
