Default Apple mice to get more buttons

They are moving right into the 16th century, Apple mice now with multiple buttons! Can users handle it?

/token appearance with pie
multiple meaning what, now- 3?
I can see it all now... 'Apple has unveiled this 'new' innovation in anticipation of a landslide sales increase with the impending release of such new games as Lemmings 3-D, Age of Empires, and the special 6-disc re-release of last year's bestseller, Descent.'

It's about as laughable as the thought of Chevy releasing their 2006 models with that 'new fangled Fuel In-Jection thingy'.

And all these years, those mac users who have hidden their secret shame of using non-mac mice can breathe easier, as there is now a less efficient answer

Though getting the surface to be touch sensetive is interesting: no switches to wear out.

i'm using a Logitech MX Laser cordless mouse, myself. 8 buttons, baby! Though, the packaged software doesnt seem to recognize the tilt mousewheel. I don't know about anyone else, if they've used one, but these ergonomics arent great for gaming. I find the mouse is too high in the middle, and it cocks your wrist back to a point that it hampers mobility (and hurts, dammit)

for FPS, i go back to my 3-button logitech optical
