I love the multi-touch interface on the iPhone, but since I live in Canada I unfortunately only have access to the iPod Touch (I can't wait to get a iPhone in Canada, and Movie rentals for that fact, I sure feel left out). I have always avoided change, an example of that is using my Macintosh Color Classic until I was finished High School, along with that amazing Apple Printer that would not quit. Using a computer dating back to 1993 in 2006 was a testament to Apple's quality and excellence (I cant believe that printer kept going). After using that computer for so long I had saved enough pennies to buy myself a brand new G5 Powermac, excellent. The switch from System 7 to OSX (I skipped 10.1 thank God) was brutal, an amazing experience but the change was drastic. So I am unsure how I feel about multi-touch on my Mac, I am sure that I will get used to it eventually but will I like the switch ? I don't think so (at least you can turn off the functionality in System Preferences). dlodewyk - Feb 1st, 2008.
