I have just got an apple pro mouse for xmas, works OK but i notice there doesn't seem to be a 'right-click' function like with my MS intellimouse, is that standard ? how do i set up that function ? if it's possible ? Thanks

Pro-Mouse is Apple equipment. Macs don't need the second button. You can use the modifier keys on the K/B before you click on something, -or- click and hold (in a browser, anyway) to get a contextual menu or 'added feature'.

That's a nice interpretation of the situation, Fieraci, but using the keyboard isn't going to work unless you're running MacOS (an interesting irony because MacOS is supposed to minimize the need for a keyboard). Robin, unfortunately there's no way you can get your new mouse to act as if it were a two-button mouse.

The reason Apple won't make a 2 button mouse standard is because the Mac OS isn't really second button centric. They added the Contextual menu in OS 8 because of the popularity in Windows 95. But they really aren't needed in Mac OS so they don't make it standard. They should though, since Lots of Mac applications make use of the Control+Click feature.
