Rarely do I need left click is OSX, it is a nice interface.  But that doesn't
eliminate other apps.  Most every app I use has handy quick reference menus
available via right click.  And hitting another key drives me insane. 
Regardless of the OS, right click is just darn handy, maybe not as much for
the OS, but the apps.  Of course OSX is still pretty hot key based.  Simply
right clicking for Get Info is much less of a task than navigating the menus
or hitting apple+i.  I think right click is still very handy for the OS as well.  

Yeah, I saw the mighty mouse awhile back and was pumped.  Still sad to see it
isn't the default mouse included with new systems, they really rake you over
the coals when it comes to purchase one.  A $15 optical mouse from
computergeeks.com works perfect.

I don't flame, I just add opinions :-)  I'm pretty mello.
