I use them at work quite a bit because I don't have a mouse with a scroll wheel.

Why don't you just buy a mouse for work? It's like $5 or something. Heck, a guy I work with brought his own LCD monitor from home b/c he couldn't stand looking at a crappy CRT they provided all day long.

Yes, why wouldnt I? They're easier to use on my iBook than using the stupid touchpad or hooking a mouse up to it. Mice just break the flow anyhow :)

same here. and i find that the page down/up key is a lot faster than a scrolling wheel.

Hey I do that. I'm at work most of the day so I took all the cool stuff from home computer (dual 19" LCD monitors, MX700 mouse, and wireless keyboard from logitech's 20K giveaway) and brought them to work. I don't use my home computer much anymore...
