With my PowerBook G3 (Lombard) I use my righthand index finger to point
using the track pad, my righthand thumb to click, and my lefthand fingers to
select, if necessary, the modifier keys. I find this a very satisfactory
method to effect pointing and clicking, and a major benefit is that it
translates easily to using a single button mouse when I am using other than
the laptop. At one time I did have a Kensington multibutton mouse for my Mac
desktop computer, but found it to provide little value over the single
button mouse plus keypress. As for a "scrolling mouse" I haven't had any
experience using one and until then am not in a position to comment.
Speaking of multibutton mice, I amusingly recall that in the mid eighties
someone attempted to market a mouse with something like twenty buttons
arranged in something like a four by five grid. The "attraction" was that
there could be button pushes for all of the common Excel functions. As you
can imagine the thing was enormous, both physically, and as a marketing
flop.
