The mice available for the old Apple II lines were also 3 button. I had a Laser clone for my Apple Iic that was a 3 button. Unfortunately there werent too many programs back then that used it, but it made Dazzle Draw and Fantavision nice. Hehe anyone here actually remember those programs?
I remember seeing my first Mac in about 86 or 87 thinking cool I can use this mouse now, but wheres all the damn games haha..
