You’re using OSX and you need to scroll a list, finder window or web page in a browser. No problem, just drop two fingers on the touch pad and drag. Two finger scrolling, just one of the gestures OSX supports on its macbooks.
You’re not using OSX you say? You’re using Ubuntu? No problem, your two-fingers are just an arcane command line away!

Doesn’t look like FUD. It’s more of an EsotericWorkAround™.
@FBM, I know, I just don’t have an Esoteric Workarounds Tracker yet.
I hate Dell!
I support EsotericWorkarounds tracker as well. Then we can poke fun at the technical failings and the social failings of linux on the desktop.
Yeah, we’re getting a little lazy.
Each one of us has seen an EsotericWorkaround™ recently.
We need to collect them, and offer them back to the Linux community. Who knows?
It might even help the silly sad bastards. I’m pretty sure I can refine an EsotericWorkaround™ until it works.
Wouldn’t that be fun?
