I can no longer live without a scroll wheel and two buttons.

Okay, Ctrl-Click is the same as right click, but it still like the ole PC way best.

2. Shh, didn't you get the memo?
Macs are superior in every way possible! Now sit back down and finish your Kool-Aid!

13. Sadly I think it is Bill Gates who serves Kool-Aid
IMHO. . .

PS Logitech makes a great mouse and they have terrific Mac utilities.

3. It is better to buy a Multibutton Mouse than curse the darkness
You can pick up a superduper programmable multibutton mouse for about $35. Get thee to a electronics store.

4. go out an buy a mult-button mouse
Edited on Thu Dec-30-04 04:13 PM by Florida_Geek
I have a track ball so right click is right click... Well almost, I am left handed :) so right click is left click and left click is right click .. understand :)

You can get a scroll wheel just NOT on a track ball that is made for both handed users.

mine: $29.00



or if you are a traveling Powerbook user a mini Mouse :)

5. I've been using a 3 button mouse with a scroll wheel on my iMac
Works great, didn't even need a driver. I just plugged it in via USB and everything worked.

8. Or, better yet
get a tablet with a pen and mouse. Pens are great and faster than any mouse.

Oh, and in 10 years you'll still have the use of your hand.

11. Just bought a Power Mac G5; traded up from a G4...
I've ALWAYS used a Mac for my biz, and I've ALWAYS used an old school scroll mouse. I cannot and will not use a Mac mouse.

That's my story, and I'm stikin' to it.

14. Logitech Scroll Mice and Macs Go together like Peanut butter and Jelly
In My Humble Opinion.
