   Hello Alan,   
      
    HG> I remember though having seen a Mac mouse with only one button,   
      
   AZ> For quite some time, Apple has supported right-mouse buttons on 3rd   
   AZ> party mice (without needing additional software) - and offered   
   AZ> right-click support for Apple mouse models, but it's not enabled   
   AZ> (for Apple models) by default - it needs to be turned on in the   
   AZ> System Preference (Apple-speak for Control Panel).   
      
   Thanks for the information. When I advanced from assembly code to the   
   CP/M operating system and programming in Turbo Pascal and Turbo C and   
   did then move to DOS where both programming languages were supported.   
      
   I don't recall if Apple supported programming by common users but I do   
   remember that Apple was priced out of my reach when I progressed to the   
   IBM compatible machine and DOS.   
      
    HG> While I have your attention I want to ask a question. In my list of   
    HG> christmas greetings I have "Shana Tova" for hebrew.   
      
      
   AZ> I studied Hebrew after school for several years as a child but never   
   AZ> became comfortable with it - so I had to Google the phrase.   
   AZ> Apparently it literally translates as 'For a good year' and is a   
   AZ> shortening of the phrase 'L'shanah Tovah Umetukah' - 'For a good and   
   AZ> sweet year' - and is more traditionally used at Rosh Hashanah - the   
   AZ> new year on the Hebrew calendar (generally in September or October).   
      
   AZ> Since Christmas isn't a holiday traditionally celebrated by Jews, it   
   AZ> would make sense that there isn't really a way to say 'Merry   
   AZ> Christmas' in Hebrew!   
      
   Thank you very much for the detailed information. I'll save it as a file   
   and not as a scribbled note like the one I have about Ed's birth day ;o)   
      
   Best Regards,   
      
   Holger
