As Daisy notes using the Butterfly key does a lot of the right click functions on a Mac.
Actually it's Control and the select bar that pulls up stuff like "Save As."
Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I have my targets from my first shooting. I like the clustering.
Yup, I've hung my target on my red wall. It looks awesome that way. The best grouping was with the Beretta. I'd say, all within an inch, just below the X circle.
The range master, on looking at my target afterward, says that if that grouping was so good, then the reason I was off on the other, heavier firearms, was because I was overcompensating for the extra recoil. Gripping too hard, and thus pointing down. (Those are the ones my instructor is covering on this photo, hee!) If we'd gotten the chance to go one more round, I'd have liked to work on my accuracy some.

You have to go into the control panel to enable right-click. (I'm not in front of a Mac right now, so I can't tell you exactly what to do). Once you do that, the right mouse button will act the way you think it should.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I only have one mouse button, alas. And it is a laptop (but with a mouse attached), but I've never been able to use tapping on the trackpad -- I'm always inadvertantly tapping.
Meh. I'll figure it all out. Change is hard.

Is it an Apple mouse? If you change the settings, it will be able to tell if you're clicking on the left or right side of the mouse.

Are you sure it's a one-button mouse and not one of the newer ones where it looks like one button but there are actually regular buttons underneath?
If you go into Settings and look at the mouse & keyboard preferences, you can enable the right button. (It's inactive by default because Steve Jobs hates buttons.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You should embrace the trackpad. Learn its secrets - then you will possess powers mere mortals cannot understand....
edit for spelling....

I need to go shooting. It's very good for my mental health. Take a stuffed Barney up there and watch fluff fly.
Alternately, I need to take my big-ass sword and chop through something without much resistance.
