on 12/3/2009 I always wanted to get a Mac but I thought it would be so different then what I am used to....guess I was right. I will eventually get one and be confused, but for now I think I will stick with Win Seven.

on 12/3/2009 As if this was in any way related to the operating system. With a two (or three) button mouse attached to a Mac you can right-click just like you would on a windows or Linux machine ... it's the silly 'MightyMouse' that comes with a Mac, and not the Mac or its OS that prevents 'normal' right-clicking.

on 11/19/2009 I use a PC, where if we want to right-click, we use the right mouse button.
As opposed to clicking the wrong mouse button...

on 6/21/2009 By going to Settings > Mouse you can actually set the right side of the single mouse button to "secondary function", which will enable right-click. By default, both sides are set as primary function.
