Not only is a wheel mouse a great convenience (especially when scrolling through great long bottom-posted e-mails :^) ), I have found that it reduces the pain from tendons inflamed by too many years of doing this kind of stuff and a ton of pencil pushing. By alternating between the wheel, scroll bars and cursor keys during my computer sessions, I take a lot less ibuprofen. Beer consumption, however, remains essentially constant. Regards, Carroll
