Can you explain to me why there is no rt. click capability on the imac? How does one get past this?
I use a $9.99 Targus mouse, it has r/l buttons, and a scroll wheel. I just plugged it in, and it worked, no messing with the prefs needed. All the buttons work, but I have found that the R button will download mp3’s, whereas the L button will play them.
There is. Has been for many years. You can plug in your MS mouse if you want or get the better mouse from Mac.
One becomes educated and learns that Macs have had "rt. click capability" since about 1991... and now come with a five button mouse.
can’t splain it, beause I have been right-clicking away with my mighty mouse for a couple of years now.
Before that I used a third party mouse (Kensington, IIRR. And before that, I just “ctrl-clk”ed.
Geesh!

Nonsense you ignorant slut.

I’m typing this reply on a 4-year-old Macintosh g/4. The mouse beside me is a _Logitech_ MX-610 wireless mouse, with no less than TEN buttons on it (plus scroll wheel, up and down and side-to-side).
The MX-610 was marketed to PCs only - it has NO “Mac support” from Logitech, no drivers, no nothing.
I plugged it into my Mac and OS X recognized it IMMEDIATELY, and gave me use of most of the buttons, including the “right click” button. No drivers needed - NOTHING needed. I just plugged it in and it WORKED.
Try THAT with a PC product.
Where did you EVER get the idea that modern Macs don’t recognize and can’t utilize multi-button mice?
