I do not understand why so many people like having a two button trackpad on their laptop. I am forever clicking the right button. Perhaps it is just the training of having a single button for so long that has convinced my thumb to rest there.
What if delivery people ran the schools? Occasionally, Even though the school said he was dropped off, your kid would not arrive at home.
