My vote would be for the scroll wheel. I don't like to reach for the
mouse if I don't have to, but when you're already using the mouse the
scroll wheel is extremely handy. Also, just because the mouse has a
scroll wheel it doesn't mean you have to use it. And of course the
wheel doubles as a middle button, so no loss of functionality. Just
my two cents.
Terry.
