My poor old iBook never had the capability to do the two finger scrolling that all the kids are up to these days. We’d be sitting in a coffee shop together, glaring down all those MacBooks and MBPs when they’d rock the two finger goodness, while in the back of our minds we thought “we’ve been together a lot longer then you lot, you switchers”. Well, that as mostly just us being bitter. After a while, we found iScroll2, a great little free app that adds this functionality to these old dogs. Who’s to say they can’t learn new tricks!
Well, the Leopard release day came and went, and we were quick to jump on that upgrade, not thinking twice about what we might lose. Sure enough, pop open Firefox and start reading the latest Daring Fireball updates… wait, no scrolling, NO!!!
Fear not, for iScroll2 has since been updated with complete Leopard support! It’s really a great thing to have two finger scrolling back in Leopard on these older machines, you really don’t realize how much you rely on something till you lose it completely. I even thought it may be time for a new laptop! Ok ok, I know I need a new one anyways, but shhh don’t tell her!!!
Grab iScroll2 from sourceforge here!
