Get in practice for scrolling in 'Lion' with a free app.
The scrolling in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, coming this Summer, is the reverse of what we are used to on MacBook trackpads, Magic Trackpads, the Magic Mouse and any mouse with any kind of scrolling.

Not only is it gaining an app launcher similar to iOS devices, but is also getting the same scrolling.

I downloaded this little 'practice' app today. Got used to it in minutes, probably because I've had an iPhone for years now.

Enjoy:

1. MagicPrefs
has an inverse scrolling feature. I've been trying it for a week or so now. Things are calming down now but for awhile I wasn't sure where things were going. Side to side is inversed as well.

2. A "feature" nobody asked for, that reverses normal behavior?
And it can be turned off in Preferences, right? If not, no sale.

4. From what I've read it you can turn it off.

5. If you have an iOS device, it feels perfectly normal.
I got used to it quickly.
