Not if you increase the sensitivity of the wheel. Then it's much more efficient and you have a lot more control over where you start and stop.

I used the scroll wheel to pinpoint after middle click scrolling to roughly where I needed to be, it was pretty much instantaneous to get from one place to another. It was very useful in Word documents especially. Increasing the scrolling sensitivity really doesn't cut it.

It seems a bit odd that Apple didn't include it, really.

Well, I disagree, but whatever. Either wean yourself off it or find a program that'll bring it back. I recommend the former, because I'm not sure the latter exists, and if it does, it's probably crappy.

I've gone back to Firefox and put all my extensions on.

Ah, functionality!

Enjoy. .....

I'm too used to Camino to use Safari or anything else right now. :P

Safari seems more stable and definitely better at handling Java, but I like the way Camino looks.

I recommend Safari. It wins at browsing. I don't honestly know how you could prefer Camino's looks to an Apple-designed web browser. You'd think that they above all would know what a Mac OS X web browser should look like. Especially now that Safari 3.1 is out you should give it another try -- it's even faster now than it was before.

Sometimes looks don't matter. ;)

Safari is definitely very fast in OSX, and it does look very nice, but compared to other browsers it's functionality is unfortunately lacking.

Oh, definitely agreed.

Agreed to a certain extent. People coming from Firefox loaded out with dozens of extensions will certainly feel that Safari is lacking in functionality, but for me it is sufficient.

Also, I hate to nitpick, but now that you're a proper Mac user, you should get the terminology right. It is OS X, not OSX. :P

I'm not a proper Mac user; I haven't got a beret nor do I hang out at Starbucks. :P

You should get one and start. :P

And earbuds are what? :)

Small headphones that tuck inside your ears and are usually separate from one another.

Urgh! I hate those things! Thanks for clarifying!

Whats to hate about them? They are discreet, they fit in your pocket and unlike those huge headphones they don't rip your hair out.

That's just it! They always fall out of my ears!

Maybe it's your ears' fault.

Yeah, mine do the same thing. The solution is either ear-reduction surgery or putting syrup in them. I went for the latter and it works surprisingly well.

I had to put cooking oil in my ear once to get an insect out.

I prefer my ears sugar-free.
