[OT] Pigs Fly --a rose by any other name...

[Dennis Brown]

Folks,

I hate to rain on your parade, but it IS a single button mouse.   
Apple goes to great pains to point this fact out, just so they can  
say they have not abandoned the single button mouse philosophy.   
There is a single button.  The touch sensors are on the left and  
right sides (like holding down the control key when clicking the  
single button mouse now).  I guess pushing on the scroll button  
clicks the mouse with neither right or left touch sensors activated,  
so it is a third kind of click.  The side "force" sensor is not  
technically a button either.  The whole mouse moves down to activate  
the button --it is one big button.

The lengths a company will go to just to never admit they were  
wrong.  All I can say, is:  If it walks like a duck and quacks like a  
duck, it must be a rose...
