Re: touch-pads
Re; thats now my guess,I was able to open the mouse equivalent control panel and make changes to it, but it made no difference in operation, I was concerned about the trackpad function of these machines because its a brandnew store(5weeks),I have no idea how fragile trackpads may be to maintain and use,but so long as Im told this is not normal,,Ill know to get a machine localy and warranty at first and not wait till the end of the first year as I have with towers,but at this time I think Im safe from haveing enough money to have any such difficulty for awhile it seems,best wishes and thankyou for the help I was just wondering if someone could have messed with the track pad control panel.

Re: touch-pads
Is this the 14.2 LCD screen? IIRC there was some talk on this list a while back about using cheaper screens available for PC laptops that fit and worked on Powerbooks. In fact one person claimed to have purchased one off eBay for $60 that repaired his Pismo. Check the G-Books archives for threads with LCD screens.

I would talk to the people @ COMPUsa and have them take a computer directly out of the box that has never been used before and let you try that one. Never trust a display model, at least not from anywhere but an Apple Authorized Dealer that is at least one-tenth the size of the CompUSA stores. -- Ryan -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
