Yeah I program too.  I agree with you that asking for it to meet or exceed 
Windows in a little disconcerning.  I just want to be able to pan acrossed 
the screen with my buttons is really all I want.  I don't use the wheels 
much except for lines and the other two or three settings in Windows.  But 
also at the same time I shouldn't have to fiddle with my settings from Os to 
Os right?  Just asking not trying to be smart here.
