I have been using a 3 button mouse here at work (on a Valid workstation) for several weeks. Prior to that my only exposure to mice had been on the Mac and Lisa, both of which I've used extensively. I found it quite easy to adjust to the three-button rodent - in fact, using a Mac seems more cumbersome now than ever. I find that having to switch my attention between the keyboard and the mouse is annoying, and the three-button mouse keeps this to a minimum. If I am going to do something with the mouse, I want to use only the mouse, not some crazy "control-options-escape-left elbow click" manuver. Same with the keyboard. A one button mouse simplifies the learning process. But Apple forgot that people aren't in the learning process forever. Doug Hall ittvax!ittral!hall
