Magic mouse middle button???

Hi there,

got this mouse for Christmas, but to my amazement it doesn't have a middle button which I miss a lot... I have read other posts with suggestions about code written by other folks, but would like to know if there is anything new-reliable-stable around. Also, any chance of getting Apple to do it? I must confess I would not have bought it had I known it didn't have a middle button. I could always return it I suppose...

Thanks.

Hhmmm... I am playing with MagicPrefs and the middle button works just fine the way I want it.
Not sure about the other options, can't quite get them to work:)

Update: am now using the MagicPrefs for the middle click, and I'm liking it. But everything else on Magic Prefs is either too awkward or, for me, unnecessary.

Are you actually speaking of the BetterTouchTool? There is no BetterThanTouch for the Magic Mouse that I can locate.

You said you were able to rotate pictures on the MM using BTT. Howdya do that? I've been trying to figure out to get to rotate stuff....
