What really drives me crazy is when a left handed person customizes their mouse and switches the buttons. The left button becomes the contextual button and the right button is for selecting.

Since it is all done in software there are no hints that the mouse is different other than it is almost always left of the keyboard.

A number of times I have been called on to help "novice" computer users with problems on their PCs. When I ask them to right click on something, they invariable had never used the right mouse button. From then on, every time I ask them to click on something, they ask "right or left button?" There is a lot to be said for simplicity. Apple did a lot of user testing to determine a one- button mouse is less confusing, but as Richard points out, computer novices are becoming more and more extinct...
