I could stand the one button thing (possibly) but it is totally not acceptable to not have a scroll wheel these days. I prob spend 75% of my computer time on the net, and every house in my computer has a scroll mouse. Uhm, hate to say this, I used to hold back from saying it in fact when it was

It is UNCONSCIONABLE for Apple to have not provided a scroll wheel. Especially for a company that knows a thing or two about design and inadvertently OR intentionally introduced a step forward in ergonomics with the goose-necked new iMac. Until a better interface becomes available and
