:Why bother?  The vast majority of computer users have two hands; hence a 
:question for the Sun users out there: What exactly are you doing with your
:other hand while you twiddle multiple buttons with your mouse hand?  How
:is a one-button plus modifier keys scheme less quick/convenient for power
:users than multiple mouse buttons?  Just curious...

	Why, why, why .... to play XTREK, of course.

	Really though, this is getting quite ridiculous.  Just because 
some people think the 'one-button mouse is the world' doesn't mean that
those people who believe in two, three, or fifty button mouses shouldn't
be able to use them.  As long as there are +enough+ people who would find
it useful, it's worth putting in.

	And it is quite obvious that there are +enough+ people.
