Apple inverted / natural scrolling - I want it to GO AWAY

I just upgraded to OSX Lion 10.7, I own a normal fucking mouse (Intellimouse), not some "magic-harry-potter" mouse, and I hate invented scrolling - in fact, trouble is that I cannot find a way to change it.

When I go to "System Preferences" - "Mouse" .. there's nothing. When I go to "System Preferences" - "Microsoft Mouse"; guess what? NOT A FUCKING THING.

So gents and ladys, how do I get rid of this piece of shit so I can fucking scroll as I've been doing for the last two decades?

Jesus-fucking-Christ, fuck you, Steve!

Oh, and to you out there, who answers this question: THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR KINDNESS!

scroll patch

The part of your phone's touch screen (iPhone, Droid) where your finger oils form a patch from frequent scrolling.
Dude I have a nasty scroll patch on my iphone.

At least my Blackberry doesn't have a scroll patch like your Droid.

Phantom Scrolling

When you scroll too much on YouTube shorts or TikTok, that you no longer scroll for the point of entertainment, but rather because you are addicted to the scrolling motion.
Guys I just caught myself phantom scrolling on LinkedIn shorts. This is a cry for help, someone help me.
