If you use your trackpad, how have you found you best utilize the trackpad/button on your PowerBook. I've been trying it muliple ways... figure I should learn from the crowd's experience...

(If you don't use the trackpad at all, then please don't answer "Other"... this is for those who actually use it.)

I chose two of them: most of the time I use my right thumb on the button, right index finger on the trackpad. (I'm left-handed although I use my right hand for "mousing").

Although sometimes I will have my hand in the same position but I will click on the trackpad with my index finger anyway, even though my thumb is over the button. Why? I dunno, it's quieter!

One hand use, index finger on pad, thumb on button.

The method I use isn't listed above. Usually my index finger is hovering over the button while my middle finger manipulates the track pad. The thumb rests up against the display release button.

I use the same digit I use to give the bird. For everything (pointer, click/hold/drag/drop).

Interesting poll! Something that I am sure most of us dont think about often.

I use on hand. Index finger on the pad, thumb on the button.

Depends on what I`m doing. When checking emails in the morning I use only my right hand-thumb on Display release, index finger on button and middle finger on trackpad. Left hand is busy holding my breakfast.

When working I use both hands: the left thumb is used for the button and the right middle finger for the trackpad.

I tried using the trackpad with the tapping function but couldn`t get used to it.
