The simple solution here is for Apple to make a mouse with a scroll wheel, so that it can finally become acceptable to you, since it will no longer be a "PC thing" and will, instead, be a "Mac thing". Of course, Apple will probably leave those kinds of innovations to third-party vendors, while concentrating on aesthetic design and things like optical technology. This is probably wise, imo.
You may not think that this forum (and others) aren't a form of discourse that, inherently, involves "convincing" someone of something, but you'd be incorrect. At the very least, you're trying to convince people -- the people who read your posts -- that your "feelings" or "opinions" or statements have some merit. And one does that by having some reasoning, some evidence, so that someone else can look at it, and say "hey, my hand cramps up when I use scroll wheels, too -- boy, they really do suck" or something. If someone just wanted to vent feelings, there are other, more appropriate, places to do so, and people to pay money to in exchange for the responsibility of listening.
