Lion kills mouse!!

I've not used me trusty mouse for about a week now, that's because I've got another GIZMO.
The Apple Magic Trackpad - a device well known to Mac laptop users but now it's iMac time.
The new Lion O.S. has been designed to fully utilise the Trackpad so I had no choice :-)
Wireless (Bluetooth) and super smooth (a glass surface), it virtually replaces a mouse through gestures.


There are two front feet underneath that allow a press down to click on both right and left sides, bu these can be changed to gentle finger taps as shown below.

It's taken a few days to get used to the main gestures required but now I'm used too it the mouse feels old hat and clumsy.
I've yet to do any serious photographic work but for general daily stuff it's BRILLIANT!
