Thanks for digging that up-- rings a bell now.  Seems like the switch  
certainly wasn't taken lightly at the time, although there's never any  
harm in revisiting such decisions from time to time in light of other  
changes (such as the near-ubiquity of scroll wheels nowadays compared  
to six or seven years ago, as Andy mentioned).

Cheeri,
