Two scroll wheels? What's that for? General Electric is already in just about every other business, so why no make computer mice too.

The GE mice are probably for the poor fools that have their Compaq etc box's mouse fail and go buy it thinking "its GE, can't be bad" and then proceed to pay $100 for it. :lol:

Three rings teach basic concepts ...

The third ring is the reset button.
