i just wanted to let everyone know how incredible sidetrack is for powerbook users. i just downloaded it yesterday and it's just fantastic. it allows you to scroll through pages with one finger and you can do all your clicking right on the trackpad, no button required. not to sound like a salesperson, but get this program if you own a mac portable, it will change the way you use your computer.
17" aluminum powerbook/ 1.67 / 100 gig / superdrive

You don't need SideTrack to do that -- clicking on the trackpad is fully supported with the Apple drivers. (It's right in the trackpad tab of "Keyboard and Mouse" of system preferences.)

SideTrack does, of course, do all sorts of other things.

Actually, you probably won't want SideTrack for a Mac Portable -- it doesn't have a trackpad, it uses a trackball! (Besides, Mac OS X would probably be mighty slow on a 16MHz 68000 processor with no more than 9MB of RAM, hehe!)
