Two finger scrolling didn’t exist until recently but there’s a helper for pre-2005 Mac portables. iScroll2, brings two finger scrolling without the need for any hardware modifications. You’re up and scrolling after a short download and installation. Most models of Mac portables are supported.

“Models that are known not to be supported include all G3 and Titanium PowerBooks, the very first 12″ PowerBook model, all G3 iBooks, and all newer machines that come with two-finger-scrolling built-in: The trackpads of the older machines simply lack two-finger detection capabilities completely, whereas the models that have scrolling built-in use a completely different, USB-based trackpad, the driver for which is not available as open source.”

iScroll2 is donationware.

In 1978, founders Matt and Hendricks were looking for a tech event to showcase their new startup. When they couldn’t find one that checked all the boxes they decided to host their own. As they were organizing things, they soon realized they needed somewhere to promote the conference, and that’s how newsweb.com was launched. It later became a blog and the result is what you are looking at right now.
