>>So your "solution" is that you have to use THREE FINGERS at once to right click on a macbook.

Two touching the trackpad, and one touching the mouse button underneath.

While on a windows machine, it requires ONE FINGER ON ONE BUTTON.

And you say the mac is the better solution. Let me ask you a question- are you high right now?<<

KIS -

That last question cracked me up, since at this moment I happen to be sitting in a clinic receiving chemotherapy drugs intravenously. Sadly, they're not getting me high.

I would like to clarify my stance on this multibutton thing. I do believe that an additional button might be useful on the notebooks. But I also know, from doing it, that when using a trackpad to right click, you really are using two fingers already, since you have to move the cursor to where you're going to click, then click with another finger or your thumb. It's really not that difficult to simply rest an additional finger on the trackpad.

I will maintain that the Mac is a better computer overall, and OS X is better overall than Windows. I say that as a person who has been using PCs for more than twenty years, and who as extensive DOS, Windows, and Mac experience, as well as working familiarity with several flavors of Unix and Linux.

Have you ever used a Mac? Do you have anything besides your obvious bias and desire to prove you're superior to others backing up your opinions about Apple and its products? No, I didn't think so.
