I bet you still wish the mac only had one-button mice, dont you? Actually, I find the one button associated with a trackpad one too many. Who needs buttons when you can tap the trackpad? I never use it. It just takes up space. Context menus exist in OS X. As does right click. As does command click. As does tap with two fingers. You're really grasping at straws to pound on the two button pointing devise issue. Apple has supported two button pointing devices since around 1985. Just because their machines didn't always come with a pointing device with two buttons is hardly a feature depriving situation. You do know, of course, that Windows supports keyboard modifiers for certain mouse events. How does this differ (other than in the minutest detail) from the way it works in OS X? And for the record, I'm the farthest from a mac fan-boy you'll find around here. I fully acknowledge the usefulness of windows. I do however find these european keyboards to suck (I'm posting from an internet kiosk in Austria).
