So that's what they're "thinking"!

Hmm.  My checking account ledger (2 years old) must have at least 50 
entries a month., so about 1200 entries.

My mouse has a scroll wheel.  I never use it.  It takes twenty or so 
rotations of the scroll wheel (or that part which is showing) for me to 
go from bottom to top.  Whereas with the scroll bar, I go from top to 
bottom in one sweep.
