Hi Ranulph, just caught your wiggy track pad issue. I have had in the past much track pad weirdness when i think air was too dry or hands to dry OR...it was while using FOXFIRE in certain applications at certain times I would get this wiggy, jiggly cursor. Took it into Apple store and they guy checked all systems. Stopped. Seemed to be the browser. Haven't had that for a long time.
Also those MAGIC SPONGES are brilliant for cleaning the white plastic casing and even screen. Learned that at Apple store. Really gets off the grime. --- On Wed, 1/7/09, Ranulph Glanville <[email protected]> wrote: From: Ranulph Glanville <[email protected]> Subject: [sussex_mug] Re: strange trackpad behaviour To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, 1 July, 2009, 5:23 PM I did look out for the lazy finger touching, and I'm pretty sure that's not it. Also, I've never seen that produce the local (cog wheel) menu appear from an accidental second touch. Given the weather and the amount of sweat around, it may be that. I've given the track pad a wash and will see. A mouse works fine, so it is localised in the pad. Thanks for these suggestions.
