    I’m not being dishonest.

    Apple never supplied you the mouse, it was hardware that you bought separately, just like the 8-track to Aux converter in my analogy. Apple only relented to providing you a mouse that supports 2 button clicks in 2005. That’s something Microsoft has provided since day 1 which is why “they’re late to the party”. It also emphasizes how apple wants to limit it’s user’s experience despite their machine’s capabilities.

    I’m pretty sure that meets the requirements for the original point.

      You are, though. You only said two things that I pointed out were both wrong.

      First you said that Macs didn’t have right click until OSX in 2001. That’s wrong no matter which way you want to spin it. Macs as machines supported it before 2001. Apple didn’t include a mouse with a 2nd button until 2005 (and it wasn’t even a second button, it was a multi-touch mouse).

      Then you just said that Microsoft provided something. Microsoft didn’t make computers back then. They never bundled any mice with any software so you’re wrong on that count too.

      The argument was never about whether Apple supplied a mouse. You’re being dishonest and you won’t even fess up when called out. So… more dishonesty.
