Wow... You know, I've been using a Mac for over 20 years now with great success. In fact, I have been able to accomplish everything I have needed to do with the single button mouse that came with the Mac. It has only been in the last few months that I began using a multi-button mouse, and only then because it came with the Mac I bought.
And you know what? I've never been held back because my mouse only had one button. I've never been late for a deadline because I didn't have a scroll wheel. I've never left a project unfinished because I didn't have a right-click button. And I have never found myself in a "cranial/rectal" dilemma because Apple never found it necessary to move to a multi-button pointing device. My response to the announcement? Big deal. rob Jerry Freeman wrote: > No $*%^#! Mr Jobs, it's finally the 21st Century! I'm looking for a > redemption certificate under my seat.
