Apple Requires Three-Button Mouse for Shake 2.5

Posted by pudge on from the but-i-only-have-a-five-button-mouse dept.

SpillerC writes "The requirements for the newest version of Shake (cross-platform: Mac OS X, Linux, Windows, Irix) will require a three-button mouse on the Mac. Are there any other Apple-produced applications (Apple owns Shake) that require a three-button mouse? Will Apple release its own three-button mouse now?"

    ...instead of screwing around with only one mouse button? Windows has had three mouse buttons for years!

    The reason why this comes up on Slashdot so often: Slashdotters are more likely to want to run X under OS X so they can run ported UNIX apps.

    More likely than what? More likely than your grandma?

    Most slashdotters are beating off to porn on an old AMD k6-400 with a fuzzy 14" monitor in their mommie's basement. When school isn't in session, they get outside exactly twice a day, on their trip to and from their crappy job at McDonalds or at an outsourced Tech Support place.
