The ST can use 3-button mice as well, but the software support really isn't as
extensive.

My 3-button mouse, manufacturer unknown (I think it's some kind of OEM
construction, though) is really running on its last leg. The only thing which
keeps it working is a big blob of tape in order to twist the cable in the
right direction.
It's rather obvious that I'm the absolute opposite of Tony when it comes to
