ryan2772 Posted August 21 Report Share Posted August 21 Those Mac people are a stubborn bunch aren’t they? They’re like politicians. If you’re from the rival party (ie. PC users), they’ll defend Macs to death, even if their arguments make no sense. To test this theory, ask a Mac user why their mouse has no right click button. You’ll probably get some convoluted explanation that ends with, “Well, um, well, it’s just better, OK?!†Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest macboy Posted August 21 Report Share Posted August 21 Bullshit, I'm the first to agree that the mouse has always sucked and I use a multi-button trackball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest trancepriest Posted August 22 Report Share Posted August 22 The mac can use most PC mouse and keyboards. It comes from the factory with a single button mouse due to Apple upholding its minimalist tradition which is the core of its design concept (simplicity). Also a way of right clicking on the single button mouse is possible.. by hitting the control key and then clicking the mouse. I'm sure Apple will come out with a SINGLE mouse button that can do left click and right click in the future. I'm surprised they haven't already.My rumination is that most people buy PC's because thats all they know of. Thats why they put up with so much crap on their computer. I doubt most even know that there are other Operating Systems out there. Why do most PC's still come standard with a 1.44 mb floppy drive?

V. Barbarino Posted August 22 Report Share Posted August 22 I hate laptops.. No need for one in my life. Have a pc at my office and one in my house. My house one if fine for what I do with it, but it would be nice not to worry about spyware and virus for the rest of my computing life..The new IMac drops in a month, so I'll see how much they go for. As of now, I solved the spyware issue with FireFox.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest endymion Posted August 22 Report Share Posted August 22 I have used everything from six-button grid-optical mouses on old SGI workstations to three-button X-windows mouses, two-button Windows mouses, everything. I for one am happy about this one simple button on my powerbook. I do not have the time or the spare memory cells in my brain to remember which of three buttons I need to press when I'm clicking on something to do something simple like a file copy.Usability is the most important aspect of human/computer interfaces. One-button mouses are the most useful for most people because they are simple.I used to think the die-hard Mac freaks were strange too. Always jumping up and defending every bizarre Apple design decision. Then I got my first Mac. It all starts to fall into place. Don't knock it till you try it is all I'm saying. Macs are the most amazing thing out there right now at every level. Only reason to use a PC these days is 1) you can't afford it, 2) your 'enterprise' can't handle a Mac. If you are not constrained by either of those two things then please spend a few minutes in the Apple store next time you visit a mall.Man I need to get that Apple sponsorship, I should get paid to pimp these things like this.
