Heheh....that's pretty cool! I always wondered why they made the scroll wheel for one direction but not the other. I figured it was just because more pages needed to be scrolled up and down as opposed to left and right. Might have to look into getting one of those when they come out. Thanks for the link.

That would be a handy feature.
I'll sure look into getting one.

This look pretty kewl - Microsoft always made the best mices. I just need to find the optical, wireless, four button + wheel mouse version. I do look forward to that, though. MS seems to be heading in the right direction
