A two-button mouse is an *advanced* user option. Anyone else ever watch a

available without requiring a contextual menu?

I beg to differ. I'm an old fart that forgot where the control key is. My children learned to use the scrollwheel and the right click faster than I did. It's not "advanced" in the PC world as it's been around for many years.

As far as hiding features, however, that's just bad programming. And there's lots of that around.

Cheers,
