Does mac offer a real two button mouse yet?
Every time I've asked that question, I've been told you can use any kind
of mouse you want with a Mac, as long as it's USB. I couldn't get it to
work on the school's Macs when I tried it though. Or at least I couldn't
get the right button to function. Maybe there's something you have to
set up that I couldn't access.
My personal experience though is the Mac interface is not as user
friendly as Windoze. And I am NOT a fan of Windoze by any means.
I started off with DOS, and came to Windoze by way of OS/2 - I think IBM
did a better job stealing Xerox's Alto GUI than either Micro$oft or Apple.
But, while IBM was a great technology company, their marketing SUX ...
although I think their anti-trust consent decree hampered them in the PC
market more than anything else. They hesitated too often and too long
for fear of running afoul of the Justice Department again.
