Steve,

I bought a mousesystems 3 button macpoint pro that works great.  It's a
little on the light side and doesn't feel as substantial as a kensington
but it does work out of the box.  I got mine from a compusa for $35. 
I've also seen them mail order for about the same price.  Or check out
compusa's web site & order it over the web.

Don't like 'em one bit.  You still have to contort on the keyboard to
get the third button.  You really want the extra button. my 2cents.
