Please don't. As a Pythonista turned LISPer, I've heard all that stuff before. What is pretty stupid is being unable to use Plan9 on a modern laptop with a trackpad -- again, check my comments on previous Plan9 posts.

works for me!

I setup my physical left button as the middle button, and to left click I just tap the touchpad. Works on most touchpads.

Well, then, I'll just go and get rid of my Macs. And the Magic Trackpads I use on my desktops, too.

Not really, no.
