Double-Click Right-Click neq Mac
I'm watching 'Office Space' and there is one part about the movie that is extremely irritating. Wait, just thought of one more, so 2 -- there are 2 parts about the movie that irritate me.
Obviously that office used Macs. So why is it that everytime the camera shows one of the characters clicking the mouse, they DOUBLE-CLICK RIGHT-CLICK!?! To make matters worse, there is a scene done in slow-motion (where the 3 office-mates are working to install a virus) and we're forced to watch Michael double-click right-click ... on a 2-click wheel mouse ... while using a Mac. Oh, I'm feeling light-headed. Must. get. water.
The other vexing part happens at the beginning of the movie and is also Mac related. Peter is trying to leave work a few minutes early to avoid his skevvy boss. He's double-clicking to close his windows *gasp* and after the computer successfully shuts down he's taken to a DOS prompt. That poor Mac had been violated on so many levels.
*wipes tear from eye*
I need to lie down now.
Update: I need to proof my work. I totally meant right-click, not double-click. DOH!

Wait. Don't you mean, "right-click"? I double-click all the time on our macs, like every time I need to open a folder from the icon on the deskop.

you can right-click with the Mighty Mouse, but they obviously didn't have it when they made the film. BTW, if you don't have one, they are pretty nice.
