# I can't understand people who try to tell me
it's much better pressing a key on your keyboard and your mouse button, rather than having a second mouse button to click.
That just doesn't make sense to me.

Most baffling, is it not?

All the Mac-lovers at my workplace (newspaper, so there are lots of them) say exactly the same thing ;)

# As I've always said
I don't have a problem with Macs, I'm sure they're fantastic machines, it's usually Mac Zealots that piss me off.

# macs are great
but I prefer itty bitty pc machines because for no money I can choose which brand processor to put in and alter as much as I want, without having to replace my computer as a whole. Besides, there's much more software available for pc and it's all so very much cheaper.

But for Photoshop I prefer mac, it also got great firewire standards :o

# FireWire is great
FireWire support on PCs is supposed to be improving, too, I believe.

My laptop has a FireWire 800 port. Rahh! I don't have asnything to plug into it though :/

# Like I say,
I personally prefer to use a mouse with one button. If you prefer two or more, you can use them on the Mac with no headaches.

# can you not
achieve the same thing with a held down click?

# Mac OS 9
and, to a lesser extent, OS X, is built around the concept of a one button mouse. If you get the chance to sit in front of a mac for a bit, you'll see that there is very rarely a need to use a keyboard modifier... you can do pretty much everything with either a single-click, double-click, held down mouse button or a click and hold.
