How about getting rid of the double-click kludge that Apple invented to make up for the single-button mouse? That way you would have 3 buttons: SELECT (left), PERFORM (middle), and MENU (right). No user-interface hacking needed at all, and you could dump half the items in Prefs/Input. Or you could make the middle button do extend-select (shift-left in the current setup). Personally I'd rather dump double-click, myself. -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' .
