Posted by simoniker on from the blub-blub-blub dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Computerworld makes its picks of five 'submerging' (i.e. dying) technologies, as the article asks 'Where are the review committees for obsolete technologies?' The picks, made by 'corporate IT managers and analysts', include Windows 9x, client/server computing and Visual Basic 6."

    Trust me, computers for kids (Apple eMac) NEED one button mice standard.

    The intelligent solution to this, as opposed to the Apple solution, would have been to ship two button mice, but configure the software to treat the buttons as the same.

    Then, users who can handle two buttons go to Prefernces and change the setting.

    For desktops, this is merely an annoyance, since it is easy for most of us to toss out the Apple mouse and get a real one, but for laptops, this is a major design botch on Apple's part.
