The fact that Apple have bothered to support right-button interactions on third-party mice is a quiet admission that they should have put one on in the first place.

Apple's own mice and trackpads have had a right-click for some years now in fact. Took them too long, but they got there.

Not all of them, unless it's very recent. I got a Macbook a few years ago that doesn't have a right-click, just multitouch which is a pain in the hole.

I find the multitouch right-click is much easier if you enable the 'tap to click' option. Having to actually press down on the pad makes it tricky to get right.

I don't have to press down the pad to click, there's a separate button for that. The problem I have is that the pad is pretty unresponsive as to whether two fingers are touching it or not, so many right-clicks become left-clicks which is particularly bad since I tend do a lot of right-click dragging.

I watch a lot of Pat. I agree with some of what he says, but I don't quite a bit.

 

I watch a lot of shit on youtube. Started watching this last night and found it interesting so far:

I'm only on about #5 though. might finish it tonight.

Great, now I'll be up all night watching that!

On a side note, I think the problem with Pat is:

 

Although he's quite good at expressing the part of me that fears/dislikes about religion, most of what he says comes just from his racism. I prefer to watch debates about it from less angry people.

I am a Muslim and I have a US keyboard but shift+3 is # and alt+3 is £.

 

So where does that leave me?

Going to hell.

It leaves you not posting as much as you used to. :(

I'm not an Apple zealot, I promise.

I didn't think anyone noticed, I mainly chat shite about football and on rllmuk these days. I do check in now and then but I feel bad for cheating on Beehive :(

What the fuck is "rllmuk", and stop chatting about football, it's Boring.


Actually, since I know Xen is about to say something /wrong/ in another thread, I'm gonna go ahead and post this:

rllmuk is a forum about games where everyone moans about games. Mostly.

 

And I like football. Probably too much but still.

 

Seen that before, made me laugh. Especially true of American sports but these days football commentators love to try and sound more knowledgeable than they actually are*.

 

 

 

*they know fuck all.

You should come and post more, just not about football.

I like football too!

I have a memory of you going over to that right-wing nut-job (borquedfan?) site and being all nice and normal and them being very confused when you revealed you were a muslim (& arab?) - I think they decided in the end you must be lying cos you were too nice

 

or I may have dreamed the whole thing - it was so long ago
