Tired of pointing and clicking? Hard to believe there was a time when the Internet had no "user friendly" exterior. The first online application I mastered was TELNET. Though not widely used nowadays, Windows still comes with a bare-bones version. From AXCEL216's most excellent tips site comes a way for you to enable smooth scrolling in Windows 98's telnet app. Fire up REGEDIT.EXE and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Telnet. You'll find this key contains several values, one of which is SmoothScroll; double-click that value and change the (default) 0 to a 1. Smooth as a baby's BIOS.
