Right Clicking on your Mac

Ever since I got my heart set on getting a Mac I've been trying to learn everything possible about them. I've been watching every tutorial Apple has to offer and reading every Mac forum I can find trying to learn about all the common problems. The most common problem I see is when PC users take the blind leap into the world of Mac, and are furious about the loss of their beloved "Right-Click".

For Mac users, this information is extremely elementary, but for long time PC users this seems to be a saving grace. Most have learned that if you are using a Mac and have not found a way around needing the precious right click, you can hold the "control" key on your keyboard and then click. If you're set in your ways, then carry on, but if you want the good old PC "Right Click" then follow these instructions.

Go to your Apple tab in the top left of your screen. Go to your system preferences and then click on the keyboard and mouse icon. Select the mouse tab, and then you can customize the buttons on your mouse to do whatever you want.

Simple right... now go tell the world what you've seen here. Go to every Mac based forum you can find and you will see this problem posted hundreds of times, with knowledge comes responsibility. Don't let me down.

Now, if you're anything like me. I won't be using the Mac mouse, not because I don't like the right click options, but because I don't think the mighty mouse is all that mighty. Logitech makes the mighty mice.
