So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

That's a bit more invasive that I had envisioned.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Try using two fingers to scroll.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
tiggy, I think there are third-party mouses you can use that have a way to program scrolling in. Wish I had better advice, but I just click and drag my scroll bars the old-fashioned way.

Hey. New board.
tiggy, the iBook G4 had to have special software installed to enable 2-finger scrolling, if I recall correctly (that was three laptops ago for me. I'm kind of hard on them.) To confirm, you could click the Apple Menu in the upper left corner, choose System Preferences, and choose "Trackpad" (or it may be called "Mouse and Trackpad" or something, depending on your operating system version) then look through those preferences and see if you can enable 2-finger scrolling.
If it's not there, you could try installing this: [link] which will add that ability.

Hey. New board.
Yay!
Yeah, when the iBook G4 was around, one of the features that the Powerbook G4 had that distinguished it from the iBook was two-finger scrolling, but it was readily apparent that Apple was disabling it at the software level. They were trying REALLY hard to convince people to buy the underpowered Powerbook G4s toward the end of their life cycle (after they realized G5s would never work on laptops, but before the Intel switch) and it led to some rather annoying artificial limiting of the iBooks.
