I suppose that it works the same way in cs as well. How on earth do you drag a paper or anything else onto the page you're working on with a touch pad? It totally baffles me.lol.
Yep, get a cordless mouse. DH bought me one for Christmas and it makes things SO much more comfortable...I was starting to have some problems with my hands after using the touchpad so much.
amazingly, it's not that more different than a mouse ... the "screen" on the touchpad acts as the moving mouse, left and right buttons act the same as on a mouse. At least mine does. hehee
I live by my touchpad. Haven't used a mouse in, oh 10 years. Just got a Bamboo tablet for Christmas though...might have to become comfortable with that...eventually...
