It’s the OTHER button…

I am constantly amazed at how easy people get flummoxed when you tell them to “right-click”.

Here’s an actual conversation I had the other day.

“Ok, right click on the file you want to encrypt and scroll down to Create SDA.”

“Double-click?”

“No, right click, it’s the OTHER button on your mouse.”

“So, I click on it?”

“Yes, right-click.”

“Right-click?”

“Yes, right click, it’s the OTHER button on your mouse.”

“I double-clicked and it launched Excel.”

“No, right click, it’s the OTHER button on your mouse.”

“Oh, that button.”

sigh.
