I right-click a lot as well on my Mac, but then I use XP, OS X and Linux (Eee PC version of Xandros) on a regular basis, so it's probably more typical of switchers than those who've used Macs for years. I've also had Mac users comment before that they can tell I'm a switcher because I don't use all the keyboard shortcuts and I right-click a lot. The newer Mac laptops do allow right-clicking, but it's a bit of a kludge. You have to use two fingers on the mouse pad and then click. I've noticed on my newish white MacBook that it's not always reliable. Sometimes it doesn't seem to register that there are two fingers and it performs a left-click instead. So I definitely use it less than I used to, due to the hassle. I'm not sure how the unibody MacBooks and MacBook Pros are, but I think they have a glass trackpad, so maybe it registers multitouch better? -- Renée Rosen-Wakeford [email protected] Twitter: @lilitu93 ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
