[AT] OT--laser vrs optical mouse, etc. (meece)

[charliehill]

On that same line of thinking,  for a year or so now I've been fooling 
around with Google Sketch up.  I picked up a trick on that online and that 
is why I have a Logitech mouse with two buttons and a wheel now.   When you 
are working in Sketch Up the mouse wheel is set to zoom in and out so you 
can  zoom to any extent you need to without having to pick up your cursor to 
select the zoom tool.
