Refusing to add a right mouse button?

  The single button Apple mouse has been dead since 2005. You’re literally repeating a meme that has been dead & incorrect for longer than the MacBook Pro has existed.

      Haha! Touché sir, but I would note he said “remember” not “snark in response with” ;)

    Do they actually ship two button mice? They've had the ability to read both buttons for ages, but from my recollection, they still never shipped a two button mouse, and even when they started shipping mice that had the functionality of the two button mouse, they reduced it to no buttons in doing so.[1] A person could be forgiven for thinking there might have been a powerful person at the top that didn't want to be seen as having been wrong: [2] Eventually I said, ‘Well, this was asked for by the marketing division. It’s a multi-button mouse. It’s been approved through Apple’s process channels, and so we’ve been working on it.” Jobs stared at him. “I’m Marketing,” he said. “It’s a marketing team of one. And we’re not doing that product.” With that, he turned and stalked off. 1: https://512pixels.net/2012/11/mouse/ https://512pixels.net/2012/11/mouse/ 2: https://www.macrumors.com/2014/03/11/steve-jobs-displeasure-multi-button-mouse/ https://www.macrumors.com/2014/03/11/steve-jobs-displeasure-...
