Anyone who likes a system that has made such marvelously intuitive design choices - like dragging the floppy icon to the trash can to eject it - or eliminating the floppy drive entirely before an adequate replacement came along - or the marvelous single-button mouse - can take a little heat.

My personal favorite is the CD-ROM drive with no external eject button. Brilliant, just BRILLIANT! Why didn't I think of that?

As for the single button mouse, what cracks me up is that you DO get left button functionality if you plug in a two button mouse, but they STILL aren't shipping 'em with one. Huh?

And the round iMac mouse was the most poorly designed input advice ever. We still have a few of those around. How that was released I'll never understand.
