   I use it all the time - in Mail for managing folders, in Finder to
send things to the trash, setting labels, and making archives, in
iTunes for the Show Song File command (is this even IN a menu?)

   And to make it worse, I use an iBook, and am always too lazy to plug
in an external mouse, so I almost constant have one thumb glued to the
control key.. For a desktop, an Apple 2-button mouse really isn't
necessary, as there are plenty of other mice out there. But for a
laptop, it's a different story..

   Of course, I could make it a bit easier by modifying uControl to turn
cmd+mouseclick into right-mouseclick, but not swap the command and
control keys any other time.
