   A bunch of you have suggested not trying to make the Mac act like a PC but learning the new way, which makes sense.

   However... will I get used to the scrolling in the opposite direction or should I just change that now?

     @kingrat they DO. I guess it works like phone scrolling but it is somehow very counterintuitive in a computer

     @Bronwyn phone screens aren't mouse wheels. this is one of those things where "intuitive" is very much a product of having used Macs for a long time. it would take me a long time to get used to the opposite direction, since I've been using systems this way since 1987.
