Then you will be very interested in my ADB mouse. The mouse on my
GS is an Info two-button mouse, Model MUS2M. I got this mouse
some years ago through Macintosh sources. It was meant for a Mac,
but it works flawlessly on the GS. The left mouse button clicks like
a normal Apple mouse, but the right mouse button is a click-lock switch.
Clicking on the right mouse button over a menu will cause the menu
to stay down until either mouse button is clicked again. Use of the
right mouse button makes Apple menus perform like Windows menus.
