1.5 finger scrolling

Since the support for two-fingered trackpad scrolling in response to yesterday's survey has been so overwhelming, I thought I'd pass along this tip from TUAW reader dude yo: 1.5 finger scrolling. Apparently, with two fingers on the trackpad, you only have to move one of them to get the scrolling effect. The advantage is that, assuming you start scrolling somewhere in the middle of the pad, you can put down the second finger, flick it to scroll, and then pick up mousing with your the original finger, all without losing your position on the pad, or ending up down at the bottom of the pad with no room to maneuver. Neat. In fact, I may have to rethink my position on trackpad scrolling.
