Hey, me too, small world.

I know exactly what you mean.  It's tough sometimes.  In most cases, you
can drag the scroll bar's thumb around and its not too bad.

Over time, you really do get used to it.  Promise.  If you have to select
some out of view text, try not to move the mouse too far out of the
window, this will slow it down a few notches (still much too fast though).

I've been told there are some CDEV's that will fix this, but none spring
to mind right now.  SmartScroll or PrettyScroll may do the trick.
