Mouse scaling is still around.  You see, almost no one turned mouse scaling
off, except for people with funny mouse-like devices, such as a digitizing
pad.  Thus, Apple renamed "mouse scaling off" to "Tablet" and "mouse scaling
on" to "Mouse".

I am *quite* annoyed, however, by the lack of menu flash control (I hate the
three cute little flashes whenever I pick an item, and it is annoying to
search out an old Control Panel or copy of PRAM just to set it).  Also, I
think the old Control Panel had a classy look to it that the new one is
missing.
