Just thought i’d “big up” someone elses blog today
Jeff Atwood’s Coding Horror blog is primarily a programming blog but it covers a wide variety of topics is well researched and entertains. I throughly recommend you take a look
A good example is his latest post on the wheel mouse and it’s origins.
I personally can’t do without the wheel on mice. It’s such obvious and natural feature that feels weird when I use a mouse without it!
One thing i can’t get used to though is buttons on the side of the mouse. Some of the Microsoft Intellitmouse products have take to putting them on the side. I generally curse at the mouse when i go “back” in IE by mistake!

Hi Andy,
You should take a look at Microsoft’s Habu mouse– it comes with two switchable side button plates, one with the side buttons pushed up and out of the way, for people who rarely use those buttons.

Cheers Jeff
The Habu looks Looks very nice. I’ll take a look!
