You too, eh? I play with an old logitech mouse that has a thumb button at the base of the left side (not near the top, like the new ones... yuck!), and I map my forward movement to that. It's right under where my thumb naturally rests while holding the mouse, so it's nearly perfect for movement.
The reversed axis thing is anathema to me, though. It's for flight sims only, and only with a proper joystick. Otherwise, it makes me dizzy. My college roommate played used reversed axes. He first gamed on flight sims, and described the reversed axis something like this: "Visualize the mouse as the top of your character's head. Grab it and move it forward, he looks down. Pull back, he looks up." With a control scheme like that, I always figured he had some anger issues.
Oncomine and HiMAP both use it to display network maps of interacting proteins. Both sites have quite useful tools for bioinformatics researchers. Native SVG in Firefox would be great, as installing Adobe's SVG plugin under *nix was a bit annoying.
