Not everyone always realises straight away that Macs can use a 2 button mouse. When I first started using one, it confused me, and I presumed that it didn't have one because it didn't use the right mouse button. The other thing that really got me about using a Mac is that I'm used to doing things on a keyboard from Ctrl + click, but Macs seem to instead use Cmd + Click (or at least my friends Mac Book Pro does). That can really confuse people I've found.
