Trackpads that have tap support. They suck since it's the main default type. You have to install a drive to turn it off, and then the driver likes to disable side-scrolling, or disable it in some apps)
Egad...I don't get why people like tap support so much. I remember when I first got my PowerBook 1400 brand new back in 1997, I turned on tapping because I'd heard it was a neat feature...quickly turned it off because i found it highly annoying. Flash forward 10 years, once I had a lecturer ask me to turn on tapping instead of clicking with the trackpad button since he found the sound of clicking of trackpad buttons to be distracting. Just the other day a lecturer for one of my courses at uni tried to look at a webpage on my MacBook and found it incredibly hard to use, since I have tapping turned off. How is it that some people can live with something so annoying? Oh, I know...in the same way the Crazy Frog became popular. :lol:
