Hi Jane.

Well, now you know, you can do contextual menus just as easily as WinPC
users :-) BTW - should you decide to get a multi-button mouse I highly
recommend the optical Microsoft Intellimouse (the only MS product I use
with my Mac *grins*). I'm sure others will have there own
recommendations. Speaking of which - I'm now in the market for another
similar mouse - another Intellimouse, or another model?

Anyway - I still recommend those books. There's always more to learn
about MacOS.
