If we were Apes, we might be able to exploit mice with more degrees of
freedom, but alas my pre-arthritic (not really, but it does feel like it
sometimes) fingers really only have two apparent motions, not three.

thus pressing, and front-back scrolling by a finger is possible, while
side to side is not.

side to side and whole-of-mouse moving is a *HAND* motion. Personally I
prefer to give my computer the finger.
