iScroll2 Brings Two-Finger Scrolling to Older PowerBooks — But Not Mine.

Iscroll2
One of Apple’s greatest feature introductions of the last few years is the use of two fingers to turn a PowerBook or MacBook trackpad into a two-button wonder. It’s an incredibly elegant solution that feels significantly better than awkward multi-button Windows trackpad laptops.
But it also only works on 2005 or later PowerBooks, which left, well, almost everyone out of the party. Until now. iScroll2 is an open-source project that promises to bring the two-finger scroll dance to older PowerBooks. It’s very early in development, so try it at your own risk. My 2003 12’ PowerBook is not supported, so I’m still out in the cold. Anyone got it working? Is it worth our time?
