DON'T BE! Apple really needs to get there act together with the mouse. Yeah,
sure their mouse "looks" cool. But in reality they are holding everyone
back, I could stand the one button thing (possibly) but it is totally not
acceptable to not have a scroll wheel these days. I prob spend 75% of my
computer time on the net, and every house in my computer has a scroll mouse.
On my Powerbook, I use a Logitech MX-700 at home. I use a Microsoft LED scroll mouse at the office, and my wife uses a small MS LED mouse on her Lombard. Multiple button mice are a must these days. It's just as simple, if not simpler to hit the RIGHT button, than it is to remember that you need to hit the command key when clicking on something
I'm a dyed in the wool keyboarder. even on machines with extra buttons and scroll wheels, i rarely use them simply because i only reach for the mouse when absolutely necessary. typing gets a lot of grief for causing repetitive stress injures like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome... but in the end, it's mousing that is actually more detrimental. As a sufferer of severe arm pain, I find my pain diminished greatly when I started using the keyboard for many functions I'd used the mouse for. My pain lessened even more when I changed to a trackball - more finger action, less wrist action.
You spend a lot of time typing in a web browser - typing URLs, entering info on forms, etc. I use the mouse or trackball or trackpad when necessary, but most functions can be performed with the 'tab', pgup, and pgdown keys.
