I have worked on a one-button mac and three button Apollos and Suns and I hold the opposite opinion (and obviously those companies must share that opinion since they give you three button mice). I tend to work much faster on a three button mouse (three functions versus one function). When I go back to the Mac the one-button mouse seems completely awkward and lacking flexibility. Obviously there must be a point of no return - i wouldn't want to work on a 92-button mouse :-)
