I was very put out about having to hit control and click together in order to bring up the right click menu.......

....I know you old timers will think Im stupid lol

but I just discovered that all I have to do is hold down the trackpad button for an extra second for the right click to activate.

Now Im happy lol.....just thought Id post this in case any other newbies did'nt know . Scott

    I guess Apple thinks of everything.



    I would prefer to hit control and then click as I think it would be faster, but at least there is an option.

    You can use a app called sidetrack, it allows you to customize the use of the track pad in practically any way.
