Unless you are using X Windows or Smalltalk-80, both of which are going to
be more and more important to all of us.  Now, when talking small, I have to use
both arms to push the middle and right buttons.  That is, I have to push the
Command key and click the mouse to simulate pushing the right button on a 
three-button mouse.  This is a pain. 

Smalltalk-80 was designed around a three-button mouse.  I see a product nitch.
