Re: Heck Freezes Over - Apple Two Button Mouse

The thing is, we know all processors will be 64-bit (or greater) in the future. As software grows, more hardware is needed, and vice versa. This mouse isn't a necessity, it's just a convenience. All this is doing is making programs even more confusing to write, now theres no longer the standard of one or two button mice. Theres 4 button, with 360 degree scroll wheels where you can squeeze it, plus if you double click then drag your mouse to the left and do a handstand it will do your dishes. We need simplicity.
