[Oberon] RE: Lack of interest in 3-button mice

[John Stout]

I would find it difficult to buy a mouse, certainly for a PC, these days
that
doesn't have a scroll wheel, and all the ones I've tried let you use this as
a middle button by pressing it rather than rotating (Logitech, Genius and
Microsoft),
so I would have thought that the number of three button mice
around will increase.

Does Ghost in the Machine's mouse not have a scroll wheel? For Windows
applications
I can highly recommend one (personally I've always used Logitech).
