that's a real shame because you're missing out on half of the benefit of the dock which is the one major loving purpose of the entire thing, that it's: A thing with all your commonly used poo poo in one place that's easy to get to.

i mean yeah you might not be running a terminal or skype or whatever at one moment but when its often enough that you pretty much just expect it to be running on accident and look at the dock to find that its not, it belongs in there.

you should just for shits and grins put it on the left

and if you ever get bothered by tracking over to it, work on your touchpad acceleration settings (its one drat slider) make it faster and realize that if you move your finger slow the cursor goes slow. if you zip across the pad so does the mouse.

NOTE: if it ever takes you more than one swipe to move teh cursor to any part of the screen your speed is way too low.

the magic trackpad / mouse acceleration is out loving standing. it's just amazingly good and intuitive to use when set like one notch down from fastest.

and you don't have to be a twitch finger gamer or whatever to use it, it's extremely easy and precise

nothing. it's mature and stable. it is a good invention that works. that's like asking what's going to replace a door knob. PC's have like those turnstiles that only activate when you step on them or like a radar activated sliding door that sometimes only open when you are already practically walking into the door... and the magic trackpad is a doorknob that you know will do what you expect every single time.

if your dock was on the left, correct side you would always be within range of the apple menu

and if your trackpad speed setting was one notch down from max, you would be able to get there in a blink anyway - while retaining fine-grain control by not ADHDing the touch to the trackpad.

it will take a reinvention of the door to reinvent the doorknob.

just like it will take a GUI/computer revolution to necessitate a new vision of input device.

and im not talking about touch screen everything!!!11
