	I mind!             :-)

	The best application I've heard for the third button is as an
analogue to the SHIFT-LeftButton.
	IE:  Click Item1 with Middle(or Left)-Button, click Item2 with Middle-
Button, click Item3 with Middle-Button...., click and HOLD ItemX with Middle-
Button and DRAG the whole mess around.

	Thus you eliminate the need of mucking about with the darned Shift-Key.
