For those of us not rich enough to get Apple's Mighty Mouse, you can still scroll like a PRO. Did you know that when using your boring old scrollable mouse, you can double your scrolling potential with one keystroke? That's right. Simply hold down the shift key while using your scroller and it will scroll from left to right instead of up and down. Helpful when browsing those pesky wide windows.
