Windows Natural Scrolling and Synergy A little over a year ago, I wrote about setting up “natural scolling” on Windows. I tried it for a week or so and never quite got used to it. One of the biggest setbacks was the software I use to connect my Windows and Linux boxes together as one … Continue reading Windows Natural Scrolling and Synergy

ARG Tools just got bigger!
ARG Tools just got bigger! …well, taller, actually. Today’s 1.8 release is a maintenance release to support the taller iPhone 5 screen.

“Natural” scrolling across operating systems
