Walt's Corner

This was a secret feature, at least for me. I figured it out on my own because it practically reach out and slapped me in the face.

For those who don’t know, an iPad can magnetically attach to an Apple Magic Keyboard and you get the full “laptop” experience of keyboard and trackpad. At least I can. My computing power requirements are quite low. The most computer intensive thing I do these days is this blog. Matter of fact I haven’t owned or used a real personal computer or laptop in over 10 years. Feels kind of liberating.

Which brings me to the subject of today’s post. The mouse – or trackpad pointer, whatever you want to call it – can be easy to lose for my aging eyesight. Where is that thing? So you know what you do – you shake the finger back and forth real quick-like so your eyes might pick up that movement and reveal the secret location of your pointer.

There I was moving my finger back and forth over the trackpad, when lo and behold IT GREW! Faster than a 20 year old’s penis on boner pills. In the picture above, I took a screenshot of the large pointer and held my current regular pointer just underneath for size comparison.

Well done, Apple.
