>>I, frankly, think that it has been Steve Jobs egotism that has made him
eschew right click funcionality on the mouse. I know that there is some
right click functionality on the mouse in OS X but it is minute compared to
how much you can do in Win XP.<<
I've been staying out of this debate on account of I get into it with the petrol-head pc fans everyday at work.... my own personal view, based on experience of building & using a variety of pc & mac platforms, each with numerous OS versions right the way from 5 or 6 on the apple & 3.x on the pc, is that the mac (generally) is more of a means-to-an-end, while a pc can often be an end in itself.
that is to say, there are people in both camps who actually want to get stuff done with the tools at hand, & there are people in both camps who are quite happy to tinker with the computer instead, endlessly trying to optimise it's performance & generally forgetting why they bought it in the first place. I would hope more of us on this group, regardless of platform, were in the former group.
anyway.
I have a wacom tablet that cost $60 with a pen & a cordless mouse. both tools have three buttons- the mouse has a scrolly wheel thing & the pen has an eraser at the chewing end. all can be configured to do stuff in OS-9.6.1.
but back on topic for a moment- today I left the g/f at home with verbal instructions on how to record a couple of bars of drumbox out of a cheesy old toy keyboard into cubase, chop the bit she wants & load it into ableton to loop it up. I have no idea what I was talking about but I bet she manages it. she uses a g4 powerbook.....
duncan.
