How Many here also use a mac

[billt]

I have an iBook. Though I mostly use it instad of my PCs because of portable convenience, not because I'm a mac-head. I sortof quit using my desktop when I got my PC laptop, but the laptop battery only lasted abotu 45 minutes when it was new. Not very useful. My iBook lasts over 3 hours usually, which is usable. I'll probably get a PC laptop with much better battery life someday, and am not sure if I'll continue with he ibook at that point or if I'll be back to the PC again because more of my software runs there that I can't use on the Mac. I can' tpost pictures to Myspace from my ibook for some reason either, which is annoying. I shrink them in Photoshop and then MySpace's FLASH-based photo upload tool still says they're unacceptable for some unknown reason. If anyone has a solution, I'd love to hear about it.

I agree, I want two mouse buttons so guess what... I bought a 2 button mouse. Why is this a big deal? This has nothing to do with the operating system or the computer. It's a mouse.

There are the rare times that it DOES make a difference. We can use VPN and VNC to work from home. One of the programs I use at times, Simvision, is a circuit waveform viewer, and you can zoom into a range of the waveform by pressing the CTRL button and left click-selecting the range. OSX seems to consider the CTRL button as my saying I want to use the right mouse button instead of the left mouse button, even when you have a mouse with an actual right mouse button. So in OSX, it's not possible to cause a left-click event with the CTRL button pressed. And thus, I cannot select a range to zoom into when using this Simvision tool from my iBook over VNC. I've asked other Mac users at work if there is a way around that problem, but they all complain about it as well, and no solution has been found.

I can do that just fine from my PC.

These examples are probably few and far between, but they do exist. You may never even encounter them, but they do exist for a few of us.
