  Haha my school iMacs all use that single button mouse. But I like the Mighty Mouse, very smooth scrolling but takes time to get use to middle-clicking, I have to click on the little ball directly

  Surprisingly, the Mighty Mouse is still using single click.

  group key
  
  An encryption key that is used by everyone on the network or in the vicinity. Contrast with an "individual key" that is used for only one user, also called "pairwise key," "per-station key" and "unique key. " Group keys and individual keys may be used in tandem. For example, group keys may be used for broadcasting to everyone, while individual keys are used for transmitting to one user.
