That's the same argument I always used - because I heard apple tested
people. But now think about WHEN those learning curve tests were done -
20 years ago? This is the year 2001. The general public knows a LOT
more about computers and mice than they did back then. Isn't there some
apple slogan about 5% down - 95 to go. SOmething about market share.
Those 95% that apple is going after already knows how to use a second
mouse button for the most part. I think you are not looking at what
apples real target market is in the year 2001.

I don't think this comment makes any sense. Perhaps you should read
that arstechnica.com article Brendan sent out and learn more about
system metadata.
