I've used a couple of ThinkPads, and never had any trouble using the
middle "mouse" button. I must admit, though, that I always used the
trackpointer, rather than the trackpad, so the the upper buttons were
in the right place.
If all else fails, I suppose one could buy one of those cute little
pocket-sized "laptop mice".
