...and I use the right mouse button every day."

I use the right mouse button every day at work on my Dell PC. At home on my Mac, however, I am not crippled by the one button mouse because I can use keyboard/mouse click combos or click/hold the one button and do what I could do with a two button mouse.

If it were a crippling blow, I would just buy a two-button mouse for my Mac. They work just fine but for me are not necessary. Same goes for the floppy drive. I bought an external one for my first floppy-less Mac. It now sits in a box in the basement. Haven't needed it in over 5 years.

In the world of QA where I live that's called a "work around", one of our favorite phrases in QA is: just because there's a work around doesn't mean it isn't a bug. I never said one button was crippling, I said it was a stupid default and Steve should join the real world and ship two-button one-wheel mice like every other peripheral manufacturer on the planet.
