I used Apple computers alongside others (three button SGIs and two button beige boxes), and the one button mouse was a terrible abortion that required two hands (open-apple-click) to use to marginal effectiveness.
So terrible an abortion that it made you use both of your hands? At the same time. Well, I hadn't thought of that. Sounds awful. Tell me, what do you do with your off-hand when you're using a multi-button mouse? Wait, wait, wait... on second thought, please don't.
Hi PopeRatzo. I had to look it up anophthalmia. It's is the congenital absence of 1 or both eyes, right? I see your point (no pun intended). You could have omitted the superfluous anti-Christian stupidity, but given your name, I guess it's not too surprising. Anyway, I could just as easily say that polydactly or hermaphroditism is a "mistake", right? Sometimes it's just as bad to be born with too many of something.
The point is, Apple didn't make mice with places for 2 buttons. Apple didn't make mice with 2 buttons, but only 1 of them worked. Apple designed and manufactured a mouse with 1 button. Because Apple thought it made the device easier to use. And, having taught 3 of my grandparents to use the 2-button variety, I'd say that Apple had a point.
It's forcing us to redo all of our work.
no, it's not. It's forcing you to continue using a familiar product instead of buying a newer, cheaper product with a similar name that doesn't have the same capabilities. FCP7 still works. Nobody is being forced to "upgrade". Especially not you, because you don't use Apple products.
One button mouse.
ugh. Can we please stop with the one button mouse thing? That wasn't a mistake. It was a conscious design decision that you disagreed with. Macintosh users were perfectly happy with it. You might as well say that the 2 button mouse was a mistake because it didn't have a scroll wheel. Now, the hockey puck mouse... That was a mistake (which Apple acknowledged, none-too-quickly, with the famous "apology mouse")

what's a coink dink?
But Jobs is probably going to build an iTube to connect the two campuses anyway. The cars will have automatic seismic adjusting and be encrusted with sapphires and dolphin bones.
Dolphin bones?! Where's my credit card?
When did vulns become a word?
So happy this was the first reply. What an obnoxious headline.
