Re: Scrollbars?

> your mouse scrollwheel

But scroll wheels are orientated wrongly. By having a horizontal axle you don't get infinite scroll without constantly moving your finger off the wheel surface and starting again.

The earliest wheel input device I used from the HP 9826 used a vertical axle wheel so you can just keep spinning without the on off motion required on a mouse.

Using a scroll bar you can easily access the whole range of document in one movement.

Scroll bars should also have an up and down arrow widget at their ends to allow single click small movements.

P.S. My laptop doesn't have a scroll wheel.

P.P.S Please can laptop top designed have a look at the above mentioned keyboard. PLEASE.
