I'm soooo tired of the multi-versus-one-button mouse debate. Apple debuted the very first commercial, widely available mouse. They chose to have one button over however many the original Xerox PARC mouse had for a very good reason. Getting people to reach out and move a mouse and push a button was a HUGE paradigm shift. If you weren't there and don't remember this era, you don't get an opinion, BTW. :-) Anyway, it was an extremely valid design choice for the first macs. It does seem that Apple stuck to this for WAY too long, refusing to even offer a multi-button option of their own. But, there is something to be said for the design from the point of view of first-time users, even into the 90s. Remember, a lot of people were buying their FIRST computer in these decades.
Ok, so, now apple ships multi-button mice. And I will STILL replace them with 8-button logitech devices. But my grandmother won't. Lowest common denominator, people. Now, if Apple would just give me a multitouch pad for my computer....
Can we please never speak of Apple and one-button mice again? Please?
