Subject: Re: Migrating to Mac
I can't help with that Carl. The last time I touched a Mac was back in the
late 80's or maybe 1990. The thing I hated back then was if you did not
want to do things Apple's way, you pretty much could not do them. Do they
even support a three button mouse today (or is the middle "button" just
ignored)?
