To 2005 and up Powerbooks and iBooks, this option is only available with Leopard installed. I was really happy to discover it on my 2005 PB 12" after I installed 10.5. I'm saying 2005, because its not available to pre rwo-fingers-scroll trackpads *Eddie

So now I'm even more baffled, because my iBook is not even three years old yet. It was the final G4 model, released in late July 2005. Oh, and I'm running 10.4.11. Is Leopard the differentiating factor? Stephanie - I already checked my iBook’s System Preferences and that option is not there.

Go to System Prefs>Keyboard & Mouse> Trackpad, and check the 'tap two fingers for secondary click' option. @Eddie - I just checked on my coworker’s three-year-old iBook, and the option is in fact there.

After 2007 though, there has to be some 'come down'. Although with less immediate excitement, I think it will have a good long term effect on Apple... I do think the Apple TV is the best solution possible and could really catch on - content is always the key and they've scored big time on this and the other thing is ease of use which they have sown up too.

The staffer showed it off to me as a new feature specific to that model. Can anyone define the "long time" that this has been possible? For instance, my still-in-warranty iBook has a trackpad with two finger scrolling capabilities, but not the two finger right-click functionality.

I've just done it on my Macbook. Just a small point, the two finger right-click has been on Apple laptops for years. I’ve just done it on my Macbook.
