Twenty years ago I used a three-button mouse</span></font><div class=""><font face="monospace" class=""><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">> with Oberon. </span></font><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: monospace;" class="">It quickly became my second nature. But now the scroll wheel can</span></div><div class=""><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: monospace;" class="">> hardly serve the role. Yes, </span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: monospace;" class="">I can push it. But it does not have the same look</span></div><div class=""><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: monospace;" class="">> and feel as the real three button mouse used to have. </span><div class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div></div></div><div class=""><font face="monospace" class=""><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">When I first released EO on Ceres around 1990, I actually used the middle mouse</span></font></div><div class=""><font face="monospace" class=""><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">for continuous line scrolling. But then an </span></font><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: monospace;" class="">entire debate </span><font face="monospace" class=""><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">started at ETH on whether</span></font></div><div class=""><font face="monospace" class=""><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">TWO or THREE button mice are better (oh my!!).</span></font></div><div class=""><span style="font-family: monospace; white-space: pre-wrap;" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div class=""><span style="font-family: monospace; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">That </span><span style="font-family: monospace; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">discussion is now mute of </span><span style="font-family: monospace; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">course. Some </span><span style="font-family: monospace; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">people still think 3-button mice are</span></div><div class=""><span style="font-family: monospace; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">best. That may be true for professional users, but the learning curve of all </span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: monospace;" class="">these</span></div><div class=""><font face="monospace" class=""><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">“interclicking" combinations is just too steep for the *average* user (and </span></font><font face="monospace" class=""><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">it</span></font></div><div class=""><font face="monospace" class=""><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">doesn’t </span></font><font face="monospace" class=""><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">pass </span></font><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: monospace;" class="">the grandma test.. always a show stopper for me).
