When I first got Cracktop, I wasn’t so happy about using a track pad with applications like Photoshop. I’ve used track pads before, but they never worked very well for me. Trying to use one in Photoshop was just a royal pain in my ass. But, I told myself that I’d use this one for awhile, to give it a thorough test drive. If I sill hated it after a couple of months, I’d get a USB mouse. Well, it’s been almost two months, and I’m finding that I rarely wish I had a mouse. In fact, I find myself wishing my work computer had a track pad.
Part of it is that my laptop’s track pad is much more customizable than other tracking devides I’ve had in the past. I’ve been able to teach it to do what I want, instead of having to train myself. It also helps that I’ve made myself take long enough to get used to it. I was really frustrated with it on several occasions (yelling at your computer is not very effective, apparently), but since I didn’t have another alternative on hand, I was forced to work through it. And now, I’m quite happy with Mr. Track Pad.
