But you have no right button
which is the biggest drawback with useability I've ever come across.

they've had right buttons for years, Al.
trackpad works with one finger for left click and two for right. Magic mouse just knows left from right by where you touch it.

That is still unbelievably retarded, they should just add a second button underneath like on good computers.

If I click towards the right hand side of the trackpad, it brings up the right-click menu.

Add to that
- Pinch to zoom
- Stretch to zoom out
- Two fingers to scroll left/right/up/down
- Four fingers left/right to Alt+Tab
- Four fingers up/down to jump to a desktop
- Two fingers spinning to reorientate

I'd say the mac's mouse or trackpad has _far_ more features, and does it all with one phsyical button.

Personally, I just use a mouse and a keyboard
but I'm clearly a computing luddite.

I'm sorry, I presumed when you said "But you have no right button", I thought you were implying that the mouse on a mac has less functionalty, and that was your complaint against them.

The tracking pad on my friends mac had a single button below it,
and I needed to access the kind of menu which is normally called up using the right click, but I was unable to work out how to do it. Sadly, despite it being her computer, my friend was unable to help either so we had to find someone else who knew how to use a Mac.

That's 'cus you've been bought up doing it one way, so when it changes, it takes time to get used too.
It's not a matter of OSX being more complicated, it's just different.
