You may feel like you’ve tried everything to make it run faster, including changing your browser settings, removing spyware or defragging the hard disk, but let me tell you, screaming does not work.

And what about that mouse you’re using – how many buttons does it have, besides the two main ones? Most mouses these days have at least four (including the scroll-wheel, which a lot of people don’t realize is also a button as well). Why not assign those extra buttons to your most common mouse actions, and save yourself a bundle of mousing-around time every day?
