You can scroll through a long document by simply moving the wheel up and down. This saves you from having to position your mouse pointer over the little scroll bar buttons. Pretty tricky sometimes. Here, you can have the document or web page automatically scroll with no intervention on your part at whatever speed you desire. What's more, by holding down the control key while you move the wheel, you can zoom in and out on a document.
Online games can be great.
Sometimes, however, you have to download special software and jump through quite a few hoops to play them. My site of the night, Funster , only requires a web browser. They give you a set of words and you have to come up with all the other words you can spell with the same letters. You're actually playing in real time with people all over the Internet.
