Apple vrs. PC
Well, I've finally given up. I can't stand the Apple Mighty Mouse. I gave it over a year of trying, but I really need my right mouse button. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed Radio Shack was having a clearance of Logitech optical scroll mouses for US$10 and bought one. I plugged it into the iMac's USB port and HURRAY! - the right-click was back.
This also cleared up two other annoyances with the not-so-mighty Mighty Mouse. First is that the little scroll button on top, which while is very cook, gets dirty too easy. Having to roll the mouse around upside down on a wet paper towel is just bad. Secondly, the touch sensitive buttons on the sides of the mouse are too, well, touch sensitive. I can't tell you how many times I've been moving the cursor when the Dashboard - at least I think that's what it's called - comes popping up.
However, I will admit that the Mighty Mouse is a definite improvement over that round hocky puck looking mouse Apple used to have.
