Why does everyone still think Macs can't right click?

I'm really tired of everyone saying "but u cant right click hurr hurr" because that hasn't been true in [I]years[/I]. All current Apple trackpads and mice are capable of right-clicking, and most Mac uses buy their own mice.
Why do all of the Windows fanboys still say we can't right click?
Because people are morons.
Close thread.
because you have to enable it in settings, but fanboys are ignorant

Because you can't?
Because (most) Windows users are ignorant of Macs. I can't wait until I get mine!
Because for the longest of whiles Steve wanted to keep to his mac is oh so simple rule and left macs unable to right click by default, nowadays when you hear someone sayin macs can't right click hur dur, it's just poking jokes about the older days.

uh, no, ctrl+click by default is always right click; settings or not. then two-finger tap is enabled in your settings, another way to right click
Because while you can right click now, it's still entertaining to make fun of.
It doesn't help that the Mighty Mouse (and whatever else Apple is selling as a mouse now) only appears to have one button. I know that it's pressure sensitive and there are two buttons, but there's not a split in the plastic that most mice have.
Alot of people know you can, it's just people being normal and remembering stuff from the past and using it in an argument

but it looks cooler without the split and macs not looking 100% smooth, curvy and shiny would end with the apocalypse

Same with my touchpad on my laptop (not Mac). I had someone come up to me and ask how I right clicked.
Because it can't, water you talking about.
Apple: the geniuses who decided to make a mouse that only has one button yet can still rightclick.
Rightclicking is probably one of the stupidest things to argue about when it comes to mac vs pc, as they can both do it and the functioning isn't much different.

I laughed. Hard.
(no really)
Apple computers for the longest time have only had one mouse button... my first mac was the black and white screen kind. One button.
Then I got a G3 mac. One button.
I eventually went to school where they had all these brand new G4 Macs... and still, only one mouse button...
So the joke of "Macs can't right click" is a thing of the past, but it's also funny because just looking at a Mac mouse makes people think "no right-click?" eventhough you can always Ctrl-click.
I also just learned that on a PC, Shift+F10 will right-click if you have to navigate without a mouse.
Same reasons as a lot of mac users complaining about "OS X had graphical interface first! Windows totally ripped it off!", it's a fanboy fight that'll never end.
Also for most people, what counts is what you can see, and seeing as there's no visual buttons on apple mice, it can be hard to understand for the average "windows user"
Can macs even right click and left click at the same time ?
just a joke
I started thinking that after rumors said that games would come on mac. Then a lot of pictures and jokes started that you couldn't use the AWP, portal gun and stuff. I asked a teacher of mine who always brought a macbook to school and he said it was bullshit
For the same reason dumbasses like eMeek still say Windows BSODs at the drop of a hat -- Idiocy or plain ol' Trolling.
Mac OS, Windows, I love 'em both equally.

Macs can right click?
*Tries it*
Woah! This is so revolutionary and magical!
No seriously, it's not just something that people poke and make fun of. I know people (albeit computer illiterates) who think Macs can't right click...
right click still feels weird with the mighty mouse
because it still clicks as though it were one button

Emeek want nothing more than to increase Apple's stock and rape Steve Job's ass, though he'll do it softly. He's a moron in short.

Well XP was pretty easy to BSoD, as was Windows ME. But Vista and 7 take alot before they BSoD.
i never ran into a BSOD on XP

Maybe I just kept getting bad nvidia beta drivers then... because the stable drivers usually ran fine.
yeah i use nvidia beta drivers all the time and did then as well

however if you overclock the cards to shit, regardless of manufacturer, regardless of release or beta, it will still give you a blue screen.
It seems terribly unintuitive.
