Is this true? I cant believe you have to use 2 hands on a mac.
Why still this idea that Macs only have one mouse button?
Nope. Go to System Preferences under the Apple menu item and turn on the Right Click on the Mighty Mouse. Works just like a two button mouse.
Because the Mighty Mouse is default one button until configured? Looks like a one button mouse? Wishful thinking?
Thanks for posting this. I’m fumbling about on my new Mac. It’s quite a change going from BillWare to the Mac world after ten years using various Windows OS’. But I like it so far!
Thank you so much for that! I’ve had my iMac for about 3 months now and I just love it.
Repeat after me:

There ya go!
Safari 3.0.4 (v523.12.2) has not been tested with the plugin Red Snapper (null) (v1.3).
any suggestions?
Yup.
Double click on the Macintosh HD icon on your desktop. Double click the Library folder, double click on "Internet Plug-Ins" and find the Red Snapper plug in and drag it to the trash.
Download and install Web Snapper 2.1.
Quit from and Restart Safari 3.0.4.
However, if you are just using Red Snapper to grab a quick PDF or image of what you see on the screen, both Red and Web Snapper duplicate functionality built into OSX.
To create a PDF of the entire web page, do so from the print command under the File menu and select the PDF drop down menu. Anything that can be printed on a Mac can be saved as a PDF file.
Use keyboard shortcuts to take an image of the window (Opt-Shift-4, spacebar), screen (Opt-Shift-3) or selected area (Opt-Shift-4, outline area with cursor and release).
Web Snapper's advantage lies in the retention of working LINKS in the resulting PDF file.
I hope this helps...

Well, I wouldn't go quite that far... I've been using OSX since 2001... OSX.0 and have seen four Kernal Panics (crash)... three of them on OSX.0 and one on OSX.1.
I've had some applications crash but you just restart the app and go on.
Have we ruled out stupidity? :’)
Another way to get a second menu is to hold down the button (this has been around since the Classic Mac OS days; but two button mice have been supported since then also).
“Press X during startup — Force Mac OS X startup”
Uh, that’s probably no longer operative, right? That applies to Macs which will boot into either 9.2.2 or 10.x, which ceased at least as long ago as the advent of Intel Macs?
What do you think of Leopard? Should I upgrade or wait to see if there is another better version out this year?
I am browsing FR on my brand new Macbook! My family really, really, loves me!
I had a problem upgrading my G5 tower ... I had Unsanity Software's APE (Application Enhancer) installed and had not updated it to the latest and greatest so the upgrade install refused to complete booting. The solution was simple... do an "Archive and Install" instead.
On the other hand, it installed with no problems at all on my Intel Macbook Pro.
Leopard is faster than Tiger on both machines.
I would upgrade were I you... but also budget the purchase of a large external hard drive (320GB or so) for Time Machine to use. Also immediately select the Software Update under the black Apple on the menu bar and update to OSX.5.1 ASAP.
