Heh. I just think others haven't had time to think this through. I'm certain
that every site that I design will have to take into account the Buggy Player. I
guess it really doesn't matter, 1 million or 10 million (yesterday) or 10.25
million (today) or 10.5 million (tomorrow) or ...

Besides, I just lucked into a cool full-time job, so now I have to be thinking
in terms of explaining these things to my "boss" who is hot on Flash and I
surely don't want to cool him off! :-) "Well, we'll have to start off by jacking
up our prices to accommodate the extra time needed to work around Player 25/20."
Yah, I'm real eager to tell him that, but, that's what it boils down to.

Not that I've heard.

Well, aside from the fact that most Mac users have already designated their
other 3 fingers for entirely other uses while using the mouse, you could always
plug in a Kensington MouseWorks ($40), then you'd have a programmable button for
each finger (4).

Me, I use Intuos pen with the see-saw "switch" button ... that gives me two
programmables (control-click and double-click), right in my hand.

HTH! :-)
