Well, that's sort of pejorative from both angles. For one, Apple's default 1-button hardware is fine for most things. My 80-year-old grandmother has the "iLamp" iMac with OS X, and really is perfectly content with how she interfaces with the machine - I've never once heard her complain about context menus :). For first-time users, non-techy types, kids, etc. the single button is OK. On the other hand, I'm also running OS X, but am using an MS Intellimouse Explorer, and thinking of updating to one of those bazillion-button Logitech beasts, since it really would be nice with using some of the "Pro" apps on OS X. And, on the Windows side, you can still wander into any computer store and buy a plain 2- or 3-button mouse that'll work with any Windows machine. If you're completely insane, like yours truly, the Logitech/Kensington/MS ur-button-festooned bluetooth clicky-slabs will work as well. - Jim ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:150722 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
