Launching Launchpad with a Pinch
P. 9 of MM OSX Lion, instructs us to open Launchpad by pinching four fingers together on the trackpad. I have an older PowerBook and cannot get Launchpad to open by the pinch method. I cleaned the trackpad and have tried really really hard. Is my technique not adequate? If not, what should I do to make the move work? Or does the technique not work on older PowerBooks?

Hi Jay,
That four-finger gesture doesn't work on the older PowerBooks because they don't have the Multi-Touch trackpad. This article on Apple's site shows the Mac models that have the Multi-Touch trackpad - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3211
The alternative is to use the Launchpad icon in the dock.
I hope that helps,
