I can see one way that apple could reasonably implement a multi-button
mouse.  Make the second button be the same as a shift-click; the third
button could be a command-click; 4th is a option-click (where does it
end?)  .  Then users with older machines would still have a method of
"using" the other buttons.  It would be good to make the
plain-old-click button larger than the rest, so that it would be the
one more likely to be pressed.
