        Without exception most everyone loves the separation of function
of the second mouse button. Most Windows apps don't even use the
second button and therefore don't have all those additional functions only a
click away on the right button. The accidental movement of ICON is a
very aggravating aspect of single button arrangements. Combined features
such as select multiple items and move are not possible without separation
of function. With the popup menus and the two MB you can literally 
become a mouse cripple and never see a command line again. I have had to
use a touch screen display on OS/2 where the nature of the beast is that you
are reduced back to only one button, WHAT A PAIN! Icons all over the place,
no additional functions available through popup menus UUUGGG! Give me
a two button mouse and an OS that knows how to use them any time.
