Oh, get over yourself and buy a third party mouse, ye whiny git! As I said over on my own Journal, there have been multibutton rodents even back in the days of Apple Desktop Bus - now that USB has largely unified the rodent market there is simply No Fucking Excuse to whine about such things.
They don't put hardware eject buttons on the optical drives because it's a Mac OS thing to allow the OS to ensure all writing (this is primarily from the floppy/Zip/Jaz kind of media but still) is complete before allowing the disc to be ejected. That's why it's a keyboard/software thing rather than a hardware button. It's a different way of looking at things. Frankly, in a lot of ways I prefer the way MacOS works to the way Winhozed does.... but I have to deal with the latter because it's annoyingly ubiquitous.
