Thanks to a collegue of mine at work, Tom, he needed help on why the mac's trackpad does not produce a click when you tap it like any other pc. Well, the answer is that the mac does not have this feature enabled by default, neither the draggin using the trackpad.

So in order to enable this feature, you must do the following.

1. Open the System Preferences.

here's an even better solution: install Sidetrack (http://www.ragingmenace.com/software/sidetrack/). You can customize the trackpad in a number of ways..i have mine set up so that tapping on the top right corner is a right click, and tapping on the bottom right corner is a middel click. It's simple to conifugre, and havent had any problems with it yet.
