[OT] Of Mac Right Clicks (was Re: "There Was a Problem Saving the Standalone Application")

[Bill Vlahos]

There is a new feature in Mac OS X 10.4.7. Put 2 fingers on the  
trackpad and click the button for a right click. Its a brilliant way  
to overcome what I considered a shortcoming of a one button laptop.  
In fact, I like it better than having two buttons.
