I actually love it
As a mac user, buying these can only make me more smug.

Yeah, cause if they were Windows Vista cushions,
they'd crash at some point, and you'd have to keep puffing them up!

i dont see the big thing about mac
along with ipods, they seem to me more of a fashion statement rather than anything else, any OS with only one mouse button is stupid, linux is the real alternative to windows, mac is just for 'cool' people to play about with their photos

Is that the best argument you can come up with?
Linux is better because you've got two buttons on your mouse?

But
OSX is built on Unix so Macs have the stability of Linux yet come with a huge number of applications which make 'doing things on the web' extremely simple. You can literally take it out of the box, plug it in and it's ready to go.
Five years ago pretty much every physicist in the world was running Linux. These days huge numbers of them are on Macs - and I can assure you that isn't because of form over function.

i own, and am typing this, on my 17" macbook pro
and surprisingly i kinda agree with you... the single mousebutton thing is fooking rediculous in this day and age.
Sure, it was probably a goodish thing to attract technophobes back in 1990, but do they really think that 1 mousebutton, but 5 modifier keys, is simpler and more intuitive than a simple right click context menu?
although you can plug a 2 or even 5 button mouse in and they work fine.
mind you, i own mine because of the software and stability. logic pro sits on cubase's head and farts... plus i can use supercollider, neither are available for windows or linux... and i have the addition of looking cool!

I use a Microsoft mouse, but surely you can Option-click?
Tadaa! It's like a left mouse button.
