Middle button?

So, my friend told me about Blender and I thought it would be pretty interesting. I already do some animation with Flash so I sort of kind of know the kind of patience and fortitude required to do something like this, or at least I have my foot in the door. =/

Anyways, I was trying to learn the interface, looking at some tutorials, and suddenly I run into a huge issue. I’m on a laptop and I don’t have a middle button on my mouse, so I can’t rotate the view angle thingy.

Is there a way I can reconfigure the controls to let me do something else to rotate?

Please and thank you.

Use Alt-Left Mouse.

I just thought you should know how much I love you right now.

Thanks for the Alt-Left indication!
Middle button never worked as in the book on my Logitec MX scroller-only MMB!
