There is a second button, you just need SideTrack, a replacement driver for
the Apple PowerBook and iBook trackpads to activate it. "With SideTrack
installed your standard trackpad becomes a powerful multi-button scrolling
mouse."

I use it with my PowerBook G4, and it turns the entire trackpad into the
second button, in addition to turning the edges into scroll areas. The
latest version can be configured to cat as a six button mouse.

- Vertical scrolling at left or right edge of pad.
- Horizontal scrolling at top or bottom edge of pad.
- Map hardware button to left or right click.
- Map trackpad taps to no action, left click, left click drag
  (with or without drag lock), or right click.
- Map trackpad corner taps to mouse buttons 1-6 or simulated keystrokes.
- Extensive control over accidental input filtering.

Don't leave home without it.
