I was a PC user from 1984 to 2001 and used various versions of 2  
button mice, 3 button mice, mice with scroll-wheels, trackballs, name  
it and I used it.  Over all of those years, the pain that I used to  
feel in my right arm after several hours of heavy usage would become  
intense.  The tip of my right index finger is actually deformed after  
all of those years of left clicking (I could show you pictures).   
When I switched over to the Mac in 2001 and started using a single  
button mouse, I was EXTREMELY pleased with how it felt and worked.   
The pain that I used to experience was gone.  Control clicking to  
simulate a right click became second nature.
When I saw the mighty mouse release, I was a bit hesitant to even try  
it.  But when I bought my Mac Pro, the mighty mouse came with it and  
I figured I'd give it a try.  After a few days use, I really came to  
like it.  Apple's design is (this man's opinion) perfect.  It still  
has the feel of the single button mouse but you can right click with  
it too and it doesn't have the feel of the old PC mice that I used to  
use.  The scroll wheel on the top is nice too.  I've been using it  
for the past 7 months now and still no re-occurrence of the old arm  
problem.  Mighty Mouse gets my vote.
