Did you know that if you have a wheel mouse (I assume all - but I'm using a Microsoft mouse and have installed no drivers) with OS 10.3 and you click on the wheel and rotate it when you keep it pushed down, it will cycle through all your open apps - just like Alt Tab.

Cool.

It depends what you have the Wheel button actions configured for (in the Microsoft Mouse preference pane.) You can make it do just about anything (on a per-application basis if you like.)

It doesn't do it on mine, either (Logitech optical Wheel Mouse, no drivers installed).
