Horizontal Scrolling

My last computer mouse had dropped to the floor once too often. So this week I got myself a new one. It has the option of tilting the mouse-wheel left/right and functions can be assigned to these operations.
I always hated to move the mouse-pointer all the way to the horizontal scroll bar. Problem solved now:

Yes! Logitech makes the best meeses products!

Try shift + scroll wheel? That's what I use for horizontal, just because pushing the scroll wheel around feels like something that will eventually worsen my tendonitis.

Shift + scroll works too here.

I'm usually a keyboard only person. That was a good thing when my mouse broke and I had to download driver software, so I could install my ancient Win98-PS/2 mouse to tide me over while shopping for a new one.

... and I raise you a c120

Dude, you should never go past 90 - the longer ones break too easily. Besides, the 90 fit an album on each side quite nicely.

Only had the best experience with 120s, had dozens of them and never lost a tape. The brand I used had just the sound characteristics I liked. - There's even a transcription from C120 recording published on CD - the sound carries me back to my student days.

My cassette of choice was TDK SA-90 FWIW.

Behold, the recordable eight-track tape.

I still have a portable eight-track player somewhere. Eight D-cells, good thing it had a shoulder strap.

Nice.

Long ago, my friend would record music on a VHS tape. It held hours of tunes, and during a party, he didn't have to change albums.

I have pretty much my entire library of vinyl and CDs converted to mp3s. The Zings graduation parties were pretty much all day things. I never had to touch the music.
