A New Way to Navigate Your Desktop
Today marks the release of the new iMac from Apple.
Of course it’s awesome. Duh.
BUT here’s the coolness–they also released the first-ever wireless TRACK PAD for a desktop computer.
It’s basically the same thing you have on your laptop, but you can put it right next to your desktop keyboard instead. SWEET, RIGHT?
It’s actually quite a bit easier to navigate around a Finale score with a track pad than any mouse or scroll wheel I’ve used. When scrolling with a scroll wheel–and I want to go right/left–I hold down shift and scroll, but it scrolls WAY to quickly, and by large chunks of measures. With a trackpad on a laptop, I can scroll really slowly and navigate bar by bar instead of by large chunks of measures.
This little thingy may be a future purchase…
What about you? Any interest in track-padding your way around your desktop computer?
