There was a time when Windows and Mac users criticized X11 because it |
| 9 |
had too many buttons (3). |

Nowadays, Windows users seem to require 20 different buttons, wheels, |
| 12 |
knobs, and whatever else they can throw on a pointer device, whereas |
| 13 |
Macs seem to want to get rid of buttons altogether but require the user |
| 14 |
to do cartwheels and other acrobatics with their fingers in order to do |
| 15 |
a simple cut/paste. |

FWIW, I have a Logitech mouse with a wheel that scrolls up and down, |
| 18 |
presses down, and clicks left and right. All seem to work fine, except |
| 19 |
I don't use the latter as I haven't found any purpose for it although I |
| 20 |
could possibly see it replacing ALT-Tab. Nah... to confusing. |
