One of the things I like about "modest" -- most (but not all) of the scroll bars are fat enough to use with your finger. Maybe a little too fat, but better than the stylus sized ones.

Better would be:

a) a thin (stylus sized) scroll bar
b) finger scrolling, with inertia

Then, the scroll bar acts as a progress/location indicator, but the finger scrolling eliminates the need to have a fat scroll bar.

But, until they implement inertial finger scrolling on all of the apps, I would like to see more apps with fat scroll bars.


Best, I think, would be user choices for all of the modes (selectable in the application's menu, just as full screen and "view tool bar" are selectable within the application's menu):

1) Scroll bar is: a) fat, or b) thin

2) Dragging causes: a) inertial scrolling, or b) selecting text/image area

of course, I'd also like to see a way to force a context menu to come up, since it's a pain in the *** to force on microb... but that's a whole other can of worms.
