Microsoft, Logitech, Macally, and Kensington all make a 2-button optical scroll mouse. Check out Smalldog under keyboards and they have all of the above listed... http://www.smalldog.com , click view entir price list, and then scroll down to keyboard...
I have a logitech 2-button optical and it works well...

I use a five button/scroll Microsoft (I know, I know) Intellimouse. All the buttons are programmable. It works quite well and I am very happy with it. Once you use a mouse with a scroll wheel, you will become addicted to it.

You can get the Logitech Optical mouse with two buttons and a wheel. Personally I would get the Kensington mouse in a box optical pro with 4 buttons and a wheel.

I got the same mouse at x-mass, and you are right, it's easely eddictive.
Unfortunaly mine made my system crappy like windows OS. I thought it was some software issue, but now everything points to the intellimouse hardware. To bad, because it's awesome. But my advice is to plug it out at once if you find your system unstable with a freezing mouse now and then. My pro mouse made my system stable again. Thank god! It's ironic that the worst elements I have had into my iMac, except harcore beta apps, is Internet Explorer and Intellimouse, and they are both labeled with that "Microsoft" label.. I don't know how PC users with windows can live with a situation like that, alot off theyr stuff made by Microsoft is really crappy. Some solutions might be pretty nice, like the intellimouse design, but it disapointed me.
