The OS has supported two button mice for more than a decade.

Also, looking at that charge, it’s kind of hard to peg Apple owners as elitists. Not so?

Apparently you have not figured out that Mac's have been capable of, and using, multi-button mouses for at least 12 years and shipping with a five button, scroll ball mouse for the past three years. LOL.

I switched to a Macbook Pro about a year ago. I love it. I still use PCs at work, but I find the Mac does everything I need it to and overall gives me less problems. Many people don’t know this, but you can actually run Windows on it as well. Running Vista, it beats the heck out of the big bloated Lenovo laptop I have at work.

I do agree about the two-button mouse, though. Instead of the extra button, I have to hold down a key when I click, or click and hold, or place two fingers on the track pad and then click. The Apple mighty mouse even has a second button that you click by pressing on the right side of the mouse (the actual surface of the mouse shows no button, however, and the right click action is a little unreliable).

It’s ludicrous the lengths they have gone to give the second button functionality without actually having the second button. This reeks of the engineers trying to work around an illogical edict from some management puke that has some twisted button phobia (maybe this is Steve Jobs?).
