Jim,
You should definately check out SideTrack
(http://www.ragingmenace.com/software/sidetrack/). (free software)
This is how I use my iBook's trackpad with sidetrack:
Mouse around as usual. Click with button for left click. Tap trackpad
for right click. Tap lower right corner for expose's show desktop. Tap
lower left corner for expose's show all windows. Tap two top corners
for switching tabbed browsing in Safari. Use right side of trackpad to
scroll windows up/down.
Apple should really buy this and include it in the next version of OS X.
