    No problem here but I have a Magic Mouse available should the need arise.

    Trackpad/Touchpad? At best an emergency fallback because I grew up with
    a mouse. I'm at least twice as fast with the Magic Mouse and keyboard shortcuts.

    Yes - but only with my middle finger. That appears to have a sweat gland
    right where I use it to touch trackpads. The other fingers still glide
    smooth. Things you learn on hot days, eh?

    Ha! Quite.

    Maybe I just have oily skin? Must moisturise more...

    I wonder if Cassandra has problems with her trackpad? But then she has no fingers!

    I remember that - it was weird!

    On another note... my BT mouse won't scroll Calendar. Everything else
    is hunky-dory. Odd.

    Just tried my Apple Magic Mouse and it seems OK with Calendar. That's on
    my M1 Mac running Monterey 12.5.

    Thanks. Still AWOL (trackpad works as expected) on this old MBP. It's
    Logitech, so would expect it to be fine but... Just that one app.
    Nothing worth getting excited about I guess!
