    Anyone know how to move back to the previous webpage without using your mouse pointer and clicking back? On both IBM and Sony laptops you just press the right or left arrows.

    Or Alt + left or right arrow works also.

    If you have one of those Logitech MX mices(Not all), some have the back/forwar button near the thumb. Quite useful. Makes us more lazy then we already are ;)

    And besides backspace and alt+left/right arrow, I think thats all. Can you modify left/right arrow to move back/forward if you are using FireFox? I think you can get a plugin for that or something.

    you can also set your touch pad to do it, if you want.
    There are all sorts of things that the synaptics driver will let you set. I realized this once I got the updated drivers. Currently I have the upper right hand corner set for a right mouse click.

    BTW - Backspace for going back on web pages -- I never knew that!! Too cool.
