Not everyone always realises straight away that Macs can use a 2 button mouse. When I first started using one, it confused me, and I presumed that it didn't have one because it didn't use the right mouse button. The other thing that really got me about using a Mac is that I'm used to doing things on a keyboard from Ctrl + click, but Macs seem to instead use Cmd + Click (or at least my friends Mac Book Pro does). That can really confuse people I've found. <br>

</div>Hang on, what do you mean, no Ctrl key? I'm looking at the MacBook Pro<br>
keyboard I'm typing on right now, and there it is, a Ctrl key nestling<br>
between Fn and Option/Alt. This and the "there's no right mouse<br>
button"[1] fallacy really irritate me sometimes.<br>

[1] If using a Mighty Mouse, oh look, it has a right-button. If using<br>
a trackpad, either Ctrl+click or enable right-click using two<br>
fingers in the system preferences. Or, you know, just plug in any<br>
USB mouse.<br>
