I’ll go Mac when the laptop Mac has a trackpoint. Navigating an avatar with a touchpad sux.

Navigating an avatar with a mouse is fine, and it’s fine with keyboard too. In fact I don’t use the trackpoint for SL on the Thinkpad anyway. Next excuse!

By the way, I like the new site design. It almost looks like… an OS X desktop!

@Andy, well, one of these days you’ll get into some advanced avatar navigation Running Avies in There.com is fantastic with a track point. And flying in SL… definitely trackpoint is the way to go. A mouse is no good for certain things… e.g. scrolling the map, turning around (you have to keep picking it up and putting it down again.) And it’s no good when you have you’re kicking back in a nice big poofy chair with a cup of coffee and the laptop.

re: the Theme… I was working with this theme for days before I realized via documentation that it *is* supposed to be a Mac look-alike theme… iTheme is the name… and this is a 3-column version… so, it’s i3Theme. Because I’m not a Mac user (thank god) I didn’t recognize it.

@Bryan – and we’ve got to get the pronunciation of your name right too! The spelling we can fix when we screw that up. lol
