[OSX-Users] Re: Lion Mail.app

[Jules Field]

On MacBook Pros with a trackpad, I've been using Lion for quite a while, 
and it only takes a couple of hours to get used to the new default 
scrolling direction. Most of the Macs I use are other people's and so 
will be setup the new default way, so it's a very necessary investment 
for me. If you only ever use your own computers, then switch it 
whichever way feels easier for you.

Scrolling the old way seems really odd to me now!
I just want to drag the document up and down, not the window showing me 
a bit of it.
And with the new direction all my Apple devices work the *same* way, 
which makes life simpler.

Just my 2p worth. "It helps with scrolling" is not a global opinion. :-)
