...Do you have scrolling set to "Natural" or "Traditional"?

In case you're confused, Natural scrolling is the one where "down is up and up is down," and Traditional is well... the traditional scrolling, where down is down and up is up! :P

Just curious. I had it set to Natural until a few days ago.

I never use natural. For one I have a mouse because of that issue and second it's just frustrating.

It's set to Natural by default, and I used the Macs at my school for a few days before I realized it was a setting you could change. I can't imagine anyone would want to use Natural scrolling.

It's actually pretty easy to get used to it once you've started using it. I'm actually having a hard time adjusting back to Traditional scrolling, haha.

I use natural scrolling since I only use the trackpad.

The Mac computers in the computer labs in one of the building seem to have Natural scrolling. Really annoying. Wish they could change it.

I have it set to Traditional. Natural scrolling confuses me too much; it makes sense when down is down and up is up. Although, looking at the setting again, I can see how Natural would make sense as well, since the content and not the actual page is following your fingers. I still prefer Traditional.

100% traditional - can't sand natural.

Natural, it's super easy to get used to. If you think about it, it's just like a touchscreen phone or if you were physically moving a page up to read whats at the bottom. I think traditional is hard now haha, I always mess up when i'm using a pc now.

Natural :)
Though it does confuse me when I go to school and use the MacBooks there that are set to traditional :P

Natural, sorta like swiping a screen.. acting as if the trackpad is the touchscreen, ya' know?
