I used to use a different mouse (think it was Logitech, gave to my sis).
I am a “lefty”, and it is hard to find a good mouse that is both “lefty” friendly, and small enough for my hand. Apple’s Mighty Mouse is perfect on both counts.
I do the left-click and the right click with my index finger, just moving that finger to the proper side to make the desired click. I nuzzle the little button up and down, sideways, etc.
I know the two side buttons can be configured, via System preferences, to do other things, but haven’t bothered. One of the wonderful things about the Mac interface is that they have really thought out the different way all us users interact with our computers and mices.
My beloved husband is a devoted “single-click” mouser. I keep trying to explain the advantages of right-click/left click, but he insists on doing it his own unique way.
Mac designers have made it possible for all of us to make our own choices, depending on how we prefer to work.
I love my “wired” Mighty Mouse, and gave my “wireless” to my daughter, whi isn’t as apt to drop things as I am...
Thanks to everyone for your generous offers for help.
I will take you up on it. I won’t ask the really stupid basic questions. I’ll read the manual, the links provided, take the classes and the tutorial that comes with it.
But in a few weeks I will be talking to some of you. I appreciate it.
The old PC had to go. It was so infested with something that it took 40 minutes to load up after the virus scans. I’ll give this a shot and have an open mind.
