Stuck between a rock and a hard place...

Grr... No one told me Mac mouses (mice?) only have *one* button. So since the MxO software requires a two-button mouse, it's either ditch my MxO hopes and get the Mac, or get the Dell and have to pay the bloody high price for it. That and I can't seem to find any actual Dell stores anywhere. Someone ask Steve Jobs or whoever what they were thinking when they thought up the one-button mouse. For that matter, I'm used to using both mouse buttons, so the transition could be slightly traumatic: I never got the hang of double-clicking files with the left button; I always right-click on files, to access the little menu, then left click on "Open".

Any thoughts on what I should do? I haven't had much patience lately, and it's really starting to wear thin. Again.

Two buttons exist

I've got a laptop, but I know for a fact you can get Mac mice with two buttons. I don't exactly know how it *works*, but it exists: http://www.apple.com/mightymouse/
