    Um, just use it like a Mac?  Just hold down the button like you were
    accessing a Mac menu-bar?  I think that's all you can do.

    Is this for some kind of prank?  I mean, it would be fun to write a 
    System 7.5-like UI for Windows with the joyful knowledge that some
    fire-breathing Windows advocate will one day turn on his machine, see
    a MacOS logo, and die of a heart attack.

    Hell, I'd spring for a single-button mouse if that is indeed your 
    intention.

    Prying off the eject button, that's the part that'd suck.
