It's worth addressing this in isolation. As long as the mice supplied are mighty mice, (and we're told that's the only sort now used), no problem... BUT: By default, the right side of the mighty mouse will be mapped to button 1 just like the left side. Although Ctrl-click seems to be the MacOS way of right-clicking when you don't have a second button, in my couple of years of owning Macs I've never ever done this. Just fire up the mouse preferences and use the visual control panel to map button 2 and button 3 and you'll be able to use JOSM as you normally do, and that includes using the wheel to zoom. I happen to choose to use a Microsoft mouse on my home Mac (my mighty mouse is a lemon whose right-click doesn't work well), but mapped correctly the Mighty Mouse behaves sufficiently like any normal mouse not to cause you any problems. But do test the right-clicking in good time just in case you too get a lemon - alert the sponsor to the problem and he'll no doubt be motivated to swap the mouse out.
