Timebomb a'ticking

[robinbloke]

Life can be trying sometimes, it's a demanding world and work is a high-pressure, high-tension place that can make you snap. Over and over cases of people who just couldn't take it hit the headlines; sucides, 'going postal', it's all signs of the stress of the modern era and the 'here and now' culture that we're living in. Demands are higher, expectations are more demanding, pressures are more extreme and requirements for quality equipment are at an all time boiling point. Now, just the smallest thing can make you snap like the proverbial twig, sending you into a wild, mindless frenzy of lashing out at the world. It could be anything, anything at all that triggers it...

On my PC at work, the mouse has no mousewheel.

Oh, the humanity

If you feel it would help, and would stop a very messy incident involving forced techno-vermin insertion into the nearest annoyance, I can despatch a mouse wheel to you at the earliest opportunity.

You'll be able to attach it yourself, I assume? I can send staples too...

I Have a MUc in mouse-ology. I have the technology and the know-how if you can supply the wheel.

that one gets me too.......especially when its a someones elses pc....that embarassing moment when for a second or two, you waggle your finger back and forth on the top of the mouse and completely fail to grasp why it doesnt feel right and your window isnt scrolling

dont these people understand there are some things you do _not_ do without??
