Modern desktop Macs come with a five button plus scrollball mouse, so
it's not much of an issue. Not that I can understand how it is
possible to actually use the two side buttons - I set them to do
nothing for my own sanity.
Aside from that, its simply a case that using a Mac is a little less
painful than using Windows for a little more money. All modern
computer systems can do astonishing things (at least they're
astonishing to us old crumbleys that grew up with 32Kb of RAM being a
real manly workstation) and cause astonishing annoyance.
Wouldn't mind one of the new MacPros with 8 cores and 8 30" displays....
