Um no sorry, the hold-down-the-mouse thing only works in the dock. Besides, it's easier anyway to reach for the control key than to wait three seconds for the contextual menu to show up.

I am in the process of switching to mac (my 15" Albook should arrive in about 3 days), and I absolutely agree that a one button track pad is much easier to use than 2. I can't stand using a second button on a track pad. However, for a desktop mouse (I ordered the new one), I am definitely going to miss the scroll wheel. it was a HUGE addition to the mouse, especially with the large amount of scrolling we all do every day. Is there some kind of function for scrolling on a mac that doesn't involve physically dragging the bar down the line?

Yeah, in Safari, at least, you can click within the content area of the window, and then use the arrow keys on the keyboard to scroll up and down. The cursor will disappear until you move the mouse again.

P.S. sorry for the double post
