I rarely get an opportunity to use a Mac, but from memory, most Mac's
only have one button on the mouse. You used to have a key to hold and
press which modified the function of this one button.
Your memory must be very good, because your recollection dates from
some time ago.
* Drivers for multi-button mice have been included in Mac OS X since
at least 2003 (10.3 or Panther) -- perhaps even earlier (I forget).
Just about any third-party multi-button mouse worked "out of the box"
since that time.
* Since 2005, every desktop Mac has shipped with Apple's "Mighty
Mouse", which can readily be configured for as many four "buttons".

* Since 2006, the trackpads on MacBooks (and later, MacBook Pros)
have supported multiple finger gestures, such as "right-click" either
by placing two fingers on the trackpad and clicking the button, or
tapping the trackpad with two fingers. <http://computerworld.com/

software can simulate some of these actions on older laptops.

* Of course, one can always hold down the Control key and click to
get a "right-click" action. This has been possible since... gee --
1997 maybe?

Agreed! Which is the best argument for using a Mac that I can think
of. ;)
Best,
