you are missing a few things: genuine mac apps generally do not need more than one button[*]. thos apps where you need to use the keyboard to access the "other" buttons have mostly been ported from windows and not adapted to the mac. apart from that, even linux has mouse actions where you need to hold a key on the keyboard while moving the mouse. so there is really no reason to look down at the mac, we are no better. those that do, are the kind of apps that need a modifier key for mouse actions on linux as well. what really irks me that i have not seen a well designed mouse that fits well into my hand for ten years now. they are all to small, and my hands are not even large. greetings, martin. -- looking for a job doing pike programming, sTeam/caudium/pike/roxen training, sTeam/caudium/roxen and/or unix system administration anywhere in the world. -- pike programmer travelling and working in europe open-steam.org unix system- bahai.or.at iaeste.(tuwien.ac|or).at administrator (stuts|black.linux-m68k).org is.schon.org Martin B�hr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/
