I have crashed Macs to the point where the only alternative is to reboot. I have to occasionally "fix" my neighbor's Mac (a single mouse button is sooo limiting).

One pays one's money and lives with the result.

You said — a single mouse button is sooo limiting...

Hmmm..., from what I’ve seen, there are about six separate actions (or “buttons” if you will) on my mouse... (that’s the normal mouse that Apple has...).

I don’t know what mouse you are using.... LOL...

When? I have been using OS X Macs since 2001. I've had three kernel panics, all of them with OS X.0 or OS X.1. I manage networks of multiple Macs... the last system crash occurred over three years ago when a fan failed and an iMac froze because of overheating. So just exactly HOW did you "crash" a Mac so that you had to reboot? What OS?

Paladin, Macs have not shipped with single button mouses since August 2005. Macs have worked, out of the box, with multi-button input devices since at least 1994. I think that ignorance is what is limiting.
