Sure you can, just go on into "Mouse" under System Preferences and set the right side of the mouse as the Secondary Button. It's another example of Steve-O stubbornly wanting to be different but then realizing that it's actually very useful.

Or press ctrl + click to get a "right click", as I do with my laptop when I'm not using my Apple Magic Mouse.

Under your System Settings there is a mouse and keyboard settings section. You can set the right click to act as it does under Windows as fkshiu suggests. It just comes turned off out of the box. You can also adjust your mouse tracking speed etc there which may help you dial in the feel of the tracking to where you like it. I find they are set for slow tracking out of the factory compared to what I like.

Guess I better go read the online How to do everything Mac.

I thought with all the stuff Apple does, they would have software on here that plays my Sirius. Oh no. Need to download Microsoft Media Player. What the heck. Of course try doing that on here. Ack, gonna pee myself.

Figured I could listen to music while figuring the rest out


Thats ok though. Still love it.

I don't know anything about Sirius, but there's lots of free internet streamed music on "radio" in itunes. I use Acquisition and Vuze for downloading http://www.acquisitionx.com/
http://www.vuze.com/
http://www.last.fm/
VLC is a much better video player for MAC than "DVD Player".
