Welcome back to the real world! Isn't it annoying when all the
hundreds of little things you take for granted on your PC can't be
done on the Mac.
Name one.
Okay. You didn't say it.

You just answered the challenge posed.

The challenge was "things that can't be done" and you were wrong.

A right-click can be done.
No it can't. There is no right-click button like there is on a Windows laptop.
That doesn't mean a right-click can't be done.
Get a life dude.

I'm not spending my life nit-picking an OS, dude.
There is no right click button or the dedicated keys I mentioned.

That is not nit picking.

You might have a point with the dedicated keys, though I showed you how you can scroll up and down just as easily in at least 2 applications, Safari and MT-Newswatcher.

You only showed me how to scroll DOWN just as easily. The scrolling UP needed more tha one finger.

I don't think you have a point with the
supposed lack of a right click button, since Apple's implementation is at least as good as those found on other laptops, IMHO. Since, in the case of the right-clicking, the ability *is* built in, and the only thing you are missing is a separate button, you are nit-picking on this one, again IMHO.


What do you mean I don't have a point? There is no right-click button. Other laptops have one. I'd like one.

Do you know many times I have had to click with two fingers 2 or 3 times for the right-click "Apple implementation" to work?

Do you know how many times I had to click more than once on a dedicated button for it to work? A lot less.

End of story.
