While I love my Mac, I'm much too used to conventional 3 button mice to accept the "one true button" philosophy of Macdom. I suspect even hardcore Mac fans click on the left side now for the most part. It's not huge magic, and I think it's even a user config option, if the dealer will be setting up users for the show. I don't think they'll even object, since most PC users (and they account for 90%+ of computer users) are used to "right-clicking". This way, the pretty mouse functions like most other mice. And it shows that OS X has flexibility. :) Gerald.
