PS: dragging icons with a touchpad sucks hard.
Really? I use one every day, and haven't had much trouble with it.
Maybe he meant with respect to OS 9 (or earlier).

Indeed, the talk was about classic MacOS. In my case some 8.*
(I've still got some old MacPowerbook with MacOS 8.* on it.)

Lifting the finger wasn't the problem there. Because tapping on
the touchpad never resulted in a click. You really had to click
that button under the pad for clicks. After that you either needed
both hands, or to do fine finger acrobatics, holding the button while stroking the pad.

We only got into it, because Tom praised exactly that feature of classic Mac that I consider the unique leader of the sh*tlist
of old MacOS' features, namely the "data fork".
