    It makes you take a deep breath and call yourself stupid for even thinking of using PC. No offense to those of you who do... but try a Mac and you'll know what I mean.

    Also, could anyone tell me if it's possible to get the touchpad doing a left-click with a finger tap?

    Ya, you have to enable it in the System Preferences, in the keyboard and mouse pane.

    cashmonee: thanks...is it because the finger tap was not activated that the two-fingers tap (or something like that) for the right click didn't work?

    Correct. You could have placed two fingers on the touchpad and pushed the button to produce a right click, but in order to just tap with two fingers, tapping has to be turned on. Make sense? It's kind of confusing.
