No love for the Mighty Mouse?
When I first started using the Mighty Mouse, I, like the author, thought that the scroll wheel was unbelievably small, and unreliable to boot. What I eventually cottoned on to was that it worked a bit differently to scroll-wheeled mice I'd used in the past - you don't wiggle your finger just on the scroll wheel to scroll, you drag your finger across the top surface of the mouse where the wheel is. It comes off as a bit Zen when trying to explain it, but there you go.
Once I started using it that way, it was actually bloody good.
Wouldn't give it top marks - it's annoying in that you can't lift the mouse off the surface and hold a button down at the same time - but it's worth more than a D.
Paris because get stuffed I want to.
