all the hullabaloo about the new apple macbooks seems to be missing an important point: there’s still no right-click. waah-wah. why aren’t any mac laptops built with a dedicated right-click button? how can that be overlooked - especially with macs now capable of running windows XP? yes, yes, yes - you can get a ‘right-click menu’ on a mac laptop by ‘control-clicking‘ (hitting the button pad and the control button at the same time). this is always pointed out as a solution when it is so not a solution. that’s hitting two buttons when only one is needed. and for me & my lovely apple desktop, the apple mighty mouse and pro mouse were never quite right-click friendly. which meant buying another mouse (something mac users may be familiar with). back to the macbooks: so why then? why not just install a dedicated right click button? how hard is that? people will herald apple as truly inventive and steve jobs as a genius if this is done. doo it now! i love macs, but it’s time to focus on the practical: decicated right click buttons on your laptops. if apple is going to pay attention to something as unimportant as shiny screens, then please do away with the single mouse button laptops. it will more than make up for still unaddressed yet obvious terrible shuffle program on itunes (yes, it’s true). and, as a mac fan & user, i will even forgive the horrid hocky puck mouse.
