If you use it with your MacBook, take a trip to your System Preferences (if you haven't already) :)and set the Keyboard and Mouse control panel for the secondary mouse click to be a control-click (the Mighty Mouse default is for both left and right buttons to be primary left clicks). Also, have you tried the Trackpad two finger solution for right-clicks? I don't have this on my PowerBook's Trackpad, but the new MacBooks can do it -- might have to set it up in the Keyboard and Mouse preference panel. Put two fingers on the Trackpad while clicking the button. ps Two finger scrolling is pretty usable, too. And I've set my Trackpad up to be used as a mouse click. Just tap the Trackpad for a single click or twice for a double-click. Cheers!

Technically, the show is live on Wednesday evenings, starting at 8:30pm ET. But if you go to the web site and look in the upper right, you'll see a "Click Here to Listen!" graphic. Clicking on it lets you listen to whatever the latest show is. “kinda advise as to the times you are one, will def listen in!”
