Make sure to select both Epson checkboxes when installing Panther. The driver may be in the one that is not checked by default. On Jan 23, 2005, at 10:06 AM, Fabian Fang wrote: On Jan 23, 2005, at 6:04 AM, Beverly Woods wrote: I was given an Epson 850N, and have tried hooking it up to a Pismo

Hi, I was wondering if maybe using one of these thin vinyl skins that covers the entire keyboard, maybe could help with this problem, making the keyboard less sensitive. The one I looked at, didn`t only cover the key`s, but the entire keyboard including the track pad. Any of you tried these?
