Either way, it still proves my ultimate point: Apple originally designed a single-button mouse to keep the learning curve as low as possible. The fact we're having this much discussion over how to make use of modern Apple mice suggests they're failing miserably at the intuition part of the "simple mouse." They have managed to take something with very little learning curve and made it an order of magnitude more difficult and less obvious to use than similar competing products, which seems to me is counter to Apple's overall UI goals. -- Paul Johnson baloo@ursine.ca
