It does. Buy an MS mouse and plug the damn thing in.

It's called buy a goddamn two, three, ten button mouse and it works just fine.

Why should you have to buy a different mouse for it to be convenient? And what do you do about the laptops? Using a plug in mouse on a laptop sucks.

You apple fans always say you can buy another mouse, but when is apple going to realize that one button mouses suck?

Its like control+click or something that works as right click. No biggie. Nearly easier on a lappy than using the built-in right click.

That's the problem. People here already have determined that they don't like Apple or OS X. So, rather than being open-minded, they continue to be stubborn and spout off about something they don't know anything about.

I know there are those who have actually TRIED it and found that it is not for them, but the majority of the people here who bash Apple don't really know why they do.

Reasons I won't buy an ibook right now.
1.) I have to pay sooo much more to get a screen larger than 12"
2.) One button mouse. I have three buttons on my thinkpad and use them all. I'd settle for two. For a machine thats supposed to be so elegant and well thought out, carrying around an external mouse seems like a kludge.

The truth is this folks: Most of you here wouldn't buy an OEM PC, be it from Dell/IBM/HP/etc or Apple.

Comparing your home-built PC to an Apple is like comparing your home-built PC to any other OEM systems manufacturer.

Have you used the mouse on an iBook? You don't need an external mouse.

Exactly.

The truth is people don't know why they hate Apple. They just look for reasons to make fun.
I don't hate apple. I just don't use it because I like games, and because I can buy about 3 PCs with the price of a mac.

I'd buy one anyway even if it didn't have right click. If you can buy a mac you can buy a frikkin 2 button mouse to go with it. The one you're using now would probably work if it is USB. The support is there in the OS for it. It's just that macs are expensive :/ So I'll stick with this PC :)

Yeah, I really don't understand why people buy more-expensive computers with no upgrade options that are slower and do less.

I'm not bashing it; I just don't understand it.

Exactly. I haven't used a mac since the early 90's when mac's owned pc's and for good reason. Why would I want to bend over for the rig itself and then get done up sans lube on software and peripherals I can't use with anything else. No thanks. If apple every priced things decently instead or reaming people just because their cult following allows them to do it alot of people here might be alot more open minded to owning a mac.

If it stopped looking so ghey
If the price was decreased by 2/3
If they had half the software that PC's have
If parts were readily available and cost less than a whole PC
If the monitors cost less than 3000 dollars...


then maybe
 

It does have right click, DUH!

My 12" lapzuki powerbook >>>>>>> any PC notebook.

They do support right click if you attach a 2 button mouse.

Another thing.... If you want to get technical, the right click for the mac is sometimes just holding down the button longer :)

Later...
