aren't we done with the 1 button mouse? - Page 2

I don't mind which mouse is provided on the desktop because I can change it to be whatever I want with a little added expense, but I do care about what is done on the laptop.

**matter of opinion disclaimer**
I greatly prefer to use a one-button mouse on a laptop and utilize the keyboard for all of the extra interface that I need. I agree with the poster above that a two-button mouse (on a laptop) is clunky and inefficient. On a laptop, the keys, the hand rest and the track pad are all so close that, at least for me, using the keys in conjunction with the track pad seems to be the most natural.
**end disclaimer**

All I can say is please keep the laptop lines with a one-button mouse!!!

Well, right- or middle- click and move. Google Earth for example uses mmb + move to do the 3D part. It's not acceptable to say that the application is programmed badly because it doesn't cater for one-buttoners. Multi-button mice are more functional and much more standardized than single button mice.

On the contrary...it's very acceptable to say that it's been badly programmed/designed.
