I was also intrigued to hear Jobs mention that you might be using "a 2 
button mouse" with OSX.

I'm reading into this that Apple are developing a brand new 2/3 button 
mouse, hopefully with an extension cable similar to the one provided 
with the keyboards.

Fair enough. After 10-12 hours of mousing around my muscles wanted 
something lighter so I went ahead and modded it :)

The ADB Mouse II was a lovely design and worked for me. However the 
more of a multi-tasking geek you become, in line with OSX and UNIX, a 
second mouse button starts to be very useful. I suppose it's one of 
those things...you don't miss it until you've become used to using a 2 
button mouse and then have to start using an Apple mouse again.
