18 scrolls on the wheel?! I hope your mouse didn't break from overuse--or your fingers!!!

But, you know, there's a great function that computers made after 1984 have; it's a graphical thing on the side of your screen called a "scroll bar." In the words of Wikipedia: "A scrollbar, or slider, is a graphical widget in a GUI with which continuous text, pictures or anything else can be scrolled, i.e., viewed even if it does not fit into the space in a computer display, window, or viewport." Isn't that amazing?

Did you know that at one point Scroll Wheels didn't even exist? We had no CHOICE but to use the scroll bar! Like animals!

Furthermore, your Scroll Wheel also has an amazing function! Try clicking on it, and you will find that you can drag the mouse downward and the page will scroll along with the movement of your mouse, saving you valuable turns of the wheel!
