Noticed two interesting things. Idk if its all laptops with vista or jsut the one i have. Toshiba satellite btw. Anyways if you tap on the bottom left of the mouse pad it opens the windows bar!?!? and if you tap on the top right your window minimizes and maximizes!?!? Pretty neat. Barely figured it out.

Anyone wanna confirm this with there laptop.....other than a toshiba?

That has to do with your touchpad's drivers, bud. Now go bring your Toshiba back to Best Buy and get a real laptop.

My toshiba makes me want a new laptop.maybe if it had a dual core processor, more memory, and a battery life that was at LEAST close to the average battery life I might like it.

That actually made me laugh

I used to sell laptops and Toshiba hands down would have to be one of the best laptops you could get other then a mac, they were a little pricey but definitely worth it

Speaking of neat touchpad features...Has anyone built a touchpad with a decent scroll-wheel substitute yet? All the ones I've seen suck. I HATE browsing the web without a scroll wheel.

If you drag your fingers up/down or left/right on the right and bottom borders respectively, it should scroll.

Dunno if you already knew that, but that's good enough for me :D

Yeah that's definitely just your touchpad :o Like the touchpad I have on my hp has a scroll bar. Although I do regret paying 900 for it, when of course every 3 months your **** gets outdated anyways =( I saw one at best buy for 200 less and had a better processor, ram and c drive than mine -.-
