I think it goes without saying that the greatest invention since the mouse is the mouse wheel. I can’t comfortably operate a computer without one.

Okay, so it’s not an earth-shattering trick, but now that I’ve discovered it, I’m using it all the time. And it reminds me of another mouse-wheel hack I absolutely positively can’t live without: WizMouse, a free utility that makes the scroll wheel work wherever your mouse is pointed.
