I remember there have been a couple of people here complaining it doesn't work consistently (i've personally never had a problem), but this guy: http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/8300945231/m/265003114831?r=730006044831#730006044831 claims it's a Firefox issue with an extension called "Copy Plain Text."

Ctrl Clicking on a powerbook with your right hand sucks ass

i never really complain about accessibility stuff, but they need to have another ctrl button on the right of the space so you don't have to completely reposition your hand to ctrl click

can you install a mousepad plugin for the Powerbook that allows you to do 2-finger Right-Clicking, a'la the MacBook?

^^ i just went and got a 2 button mouse and plugit into my powerbook

yea I don't use the two-finger click like they did on the powerbooks that came out 3 months after I got mine, but instead I use the Sidetrack driver replacement. It gives me a tap right click, and a top and right side scroll, and 4 corner buttons for fwd/back and expose functions

i would just have thought that apple being big on "universal access" would have thought about making it easier for those who need to ctrl click with their right hand only

you can always skip the control-click and go straight for the cmd-c.
there's not a single function on a Mac that can only be accessed through a contextual menu.

yeah i was about to say, you'd have to be a fucking moron not to be able to figure out how to do this on a mac...
