MacBook Pro - glassbook tips?

[john doe by choice]

So, I've got my new MBP, but I'm looking for performance tips/links from people who use MBP's for music.

I'm also having a little bit of a time getting used to the trackpad on this thing - I try to scroll using two fingers, but what happens half the time is the font size in my internet browser either gets bigger or smaller when I do it. Anyone know how to lock the font size?

Any help is appreciated - thanks!

Easy: just move both fingers at the same time in the same direction. It sounds like you're trying to scroll by leaving one finger stationary and using the other to swipe around. Your macbook understands that as a pinch gesture, and that's why you're always scaling the screen elements accidentally.

...thank you, that is it exactly.

On the subject of trackpads, I'm reading online about people using some sort of film cover for the pad - any suggestions on the best kind or brand?

Haha I had a feeling that was the case. Glad it's not a hardware issue on the lappy.

I've used a Marware piece on the trackpad of my old Macbook Pro, and it did a great job without sacrificing sensitivity. I dont use one on my new macbook because shot-peened and heat-treated glass is really fooking durable and wont wear down like the old plastic trackpads. You cant go wrong with something from a company like Power Support or Invisible Shield though.
