Thanks to all of you who dropped a line. This is real user generated content! Regarding the scrolling wheel thing, I confess I don't remember where I found it, but definitely read somewhere about it, most probably on a blog... A lot of people are using it, but I am sure a lot more are not, and it's a cool little feature. I am glad you share my enthusiasm about it. cheers. Hi Andrew,

Another time saver is the auto complete of .com, .net, and .org addresses. For example, you can type only "365questions" into the location bar, and hit CTRL + ENTER and it'll add the "http://www." before and ".com" after.
