OT - One button rant - was Re: [Cialug] Windows SSH Program

[Bryan Baker]

I know you're just trolling w. that, but Apple hasn't shipped a 1  
button mouse itself in a couple years - I'd still rather use a  
Logitech anyway, but to say that isn't an option...

 From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Mighty_Mouse :

The Apple Mighty Mouse is a multi-button USB or Bluetooth mouse  
manufactured and sold by Apple Inc.

== snip ==

• On August 2, 2005, Apple introduced Mighty Mouse, at the suggested  
retail price of $49 US[3].
• On 12 October 2005, Apple began shipping a Mighty Mouse with every  
iMac, and on 19 October 2005, with the PowerMac G5 line as well.

=== EOQ ===

Right click has been useful on a Mac for as long as I remember using a  
USB mouse, certainly since OSX was released

I know you just wanted to see if I was still alive out here...

I like Putty OK, but I definitely prefer just plain ssh on either a  
Mac or X

I do like that putty is small and easy to get onto a Widows box,  
though I like it better to not have to install anything extra.

I especially like the current 10.5 version of Terminal which added  
tabbed windows - much nicer than keeping track of separate windows.
