Always glad to help if I can.
Yes, I sounded arrogant but Baruch Atta was annoying me and now jstachow is going on about iOS which has nothing to do with the article! I thought this forum was for techies?
Charlie,
There's a little app that can display the workings of the magic mouse and it shows the position of all five of your fingers on the top surface. This means it's a multi-touch device and it's capable of recognising multiple gestures to perform various tasks, including the beloved 'right click' which will indeed pop up a contextual menu as expected (when you click down on the right side) So everything you would expect from last century's MS mouse is comfortingly available.
But it does so much more, for instance swiping two fingers to the left or right will go backwards and forwards a page in your web browser.
Dragging one finger will scroll a window just like the scroll wheel back in the day but it also works sideways and it has a feeling of inertia which depends on the speed of your finger. All these functions are configured from the mouse control panel so can be configured to suit all kinds of folks.
