Technical Thaumaturgy

Lion multitouch and older intel Macs

I can confirm that Macs without the newer multi-touch trackpads (or an appropriate mouse) only have limited gesture support on Lion. I have a late 2006 Mac Book Pro with an early multitouch trackpad. It basically supports two finger touch but not three, so a lot of the Lion gestures are out.

I must say I’m still getting used to “natural”(!) scrolling. Great on an iPad, feels weird on a trackpad. Perhaps it’s just and adjustment period.

Woo Hoo. Lion is out!

I’m out tonight, so I won’t be able to install it straight away. I wonder how big the “App Store” purchase is and if there is a way to cache the download to avoid dowloading it for every computer.

Pop goes the bandwidth,
