Missing the right mouse click

I love my new iMac, but miss the right click and the copy and paste I got used to with windows.

CTRL + Click

or get a mouse that doesn't suck as much as the might mouse. I recommend this one: Amazon.com: Logitech MX Revolution Cordless Laser Mouse (Black): Electronics

If you have a mighty mouse you can activate it so that it senses right clicking.

Check System Preferences and go to Keyboard and Mouse, under mouse it will show you a picture of the mighty mouse and on the right side change it from saying 'Primary Button' to 'Secondary Button'

Now you have right click again! Or just use CTRL + Click as was stated above

Give it a little time, the benefits of a Mac will far outweigh the drawbacks.

Give it a few weeks, you're likely to adapt to it and like it more.

If you feel you need one, you can either turn it on, or plug in any other USB mouse and use that.

Copy/paste is fundamentally the same, just use the splat (apple) key and c/v.

You'll get used to it. I'm to the point now that I have trouble using a non-Mac. Having said that, I'm right where Steve Jobs wants me.
