Because the mousewheel concept was developed (commercially at least) by MS and Logitech and because the only time I've heard of it mentioned by *nix coders they say they use 120 as the delta value for mousewheel code because they figure future-proofing in the same manner of MS is likely to be a winner. There is no reason for using 120 rather than 60, 100, 180, 200, 240 or another easily divisible number other than someone had to decide on one and MS decided on 120 (although it does have obvious advantages as a choice). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 6.5.3 for non-commercial use <http://www.pgp.com> iQA/AwUBO6EQZIFpv9f1Mr0YEQLEUACg6Hj9BYecoXvPk5L9bh8c8DFLNVwAoNzR Ly9Typh0dEuzqvfP8G8Fm4Ay =/fDR -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
