<DIV></DIV>>3 button mice have been the norm in the Unix world ever since the
<DIV></DIV>>first Unix machine sprouted a rodent. Take a look at a Sun
<DIV></DIV>>workstation. Depending on the window manager and/or application it can
<DIV></DIV>>have many purposes. I use it (actually the left an right buttons
<DIV></DIV>>together on my TP) to paste stuff. Also in Gnome, middle clicking on
<DIV></DIV>>the desktop brings up a menu.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>The scroll button for many mice is usable as both a scroll button, and
<DIV></DIV>>as the middle mouse button.
