Perish the thought. Any USB or bluetooth or other wireless 3 button
mouse will work like a charm. The "mighty mouse" Apple ships by
default is a real three-button mouse (with a cute little two way
scroll wheel), masquerading as a one button mouse. It's not my
favorite, but most Mac users by now actually do have a full 3-button
mouse. Whether they use it as such is another matter (all IDL/Mac
users I know do).

If three-button-mouseless, option-click is button 2, apple-click is
button 3 under X (Control-click is right-click in the rest of the
OS). Also if on a recent Mac laptop, tapping the track pad with two
fingers at the same time sends mouse-3. Dragging with two fingers is
the same as scrolling (up down or left/right, or both
simultaneously!). The new ones have all sorts of fancy gestures:

Be the first to implement iPhone-esque pinch zooming in IDL!
