So I'm reading this really long article I printed out from the New Yorker, I'm about 10 pages into the 16 page article, and as I approached the bottom of the page I reached out with my hand, found the mouse, and scrolled down. It took me a second to wonder why the text wasn't moving, then I glanced at my hand, and am currently feeling a bit sheepish.

So how's your Thursday rolling?
 
I have done something similar. I use Ventrillo (online voice chat) when I play games online and the talk key is bound to my mouse. So I was talking to my friend on my cell phone while just browsing the web and whenever I went to talk I would click the mouse button without realizing it (and apparently in Firefox that mouse button is bound to the back function, so i kept jumping back and forth through websites). I've also tried to use Firefox mouse gestures in other programs without realizing it.

Middle mouse button bind is best bind.

Almost as bad, he printed out the online copy.

1. It's a magazine.
2. Re-read the first ten words of the OP
