I can't believe anyone LIKES this. It was cool back when Netscape was brand new (or maybe 2.0, as another post suggested) but it's downright annoying now. Since every mouse I own except those that have shipped with my Macs are multi-button mice, and since I don't really mind using Control from time to time, I find that the only time I use this feature is when it rears its head when I don't want it to. If I hold the mouse down for a second for whatever reason, I get the stupid menu in my way. And there's no way I know of to disable it.

I guess I'm glad you like it, as it means it's doing some good, but I can't imagine why. For $29 (or a lot less by now) you can have a nice optical mouse with two buttons.

And don't forget the scrollwheel. I can't live without a scroll wheel!

Obviously you are not a laptop user - you will be one day - as Apples sales have increasingly been dominated by laptops.

For a laptop only user like me, Click-and-Hold, is the ONLY way on a flight crammed into a seat - or in a factory floor with the PB on my lap - or holding the PB with one hand and mousing wih the other in a line at the Airport counter - etc..

Click-and-hold is the ONLY reason I dont use Safari and Camino - both of which are faster than FireFox.
