Yes, mostly not (but buffs get them...).
On Macs, the right click functions (e.g. contextual menu) are
carried out by click + keyboard Control press or - at least on
systems before X - just holding mouse down for a set time
(depending on how this is set in system prefs, fractions of
seconds possible).
I did sort of enjoy the scroll wheel on my daughters PC,
(keyboard up and down can't quite match the elegant pace and
smoothness). But the right button is a bit absurd.
