Ben,
I know the feature in on a MacBook Pro but I think it should be on
AlBooks too. In the "Keyboard & Mouse" System Preference, click the
"Trackpad" tab. Check the box labeled, "Place two fingers on trackpad
and click button for secondary click."
If you don't see that option then you are either at something earlier
than 10.4.7 or the Mac doesn't support it.

There is a new feature in Mac OS X 10.4.7. Put 2 fingers on the

laptop. In fact, I like it better than having two buttons.
Billl, can you tell me more? The loss of the right button is what
I hate most about using my PB on airplanes - I have 10.4.7 (on a
sufficiently late model Aluminium PowerBook to have the two-
fingered scrolling), but this doesn't seem to do anything for me,
nor can I see anything in the control panel. Is this only in
MacBooks?
BTW for others, while I'd still welcome a faster solution, I find
the control-click solution so awkward that I generally prefer to
just hold down the trackpad button for a longer time, which in most
apps (I'm not sure if it's a system thing, a Cocoa thing, or just a
convention) will eventually pop-up a contextual menu.
