OK, so this isn’t really a way to make your own PowerBook, but it does bring you one step closer to the real thing. If you’re like me and you own one of the pre-2005 iBooks or PowerBooks without that cool two-finger scrolling feature, then here’s a solution. iScroll2 allows you to add this feature to any Mac with a trackpad. It simply adds a pane in System Preferences dedicated to controlling your scrolling sensitivity and speed. I’ve been using this little utility for quite a while and I couldn’t use my iBook as much as I do without it! Next week’s Make-your-own-PowerBook tip involves silver spray paint, so you might want to stock up now.
It clearly doesn't work on any Mac with a trackpad.
