If you've ever wanted to see how fast a remote controlled car can actually go (or you are bored and want to see how fast you can spin your mouse wheel) this script is for you.
This script measures how fast the mouse wheel is spinning and translates that into miles per hour (when I'm bored I write stuff in perl).
Note: The script is calibrated for a Microsoft Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0
