Only 6% feel that use of the thumb wheel is almost always a problem.

13% don't use the thumb wheel, 6% don't have one, and only 6% use it 
often.  Of the people who use it occasionally, 30% use it to boost the 
music (like on a right and left grand) and 24% use it to lower the 
music when they give a command (I do both of these).

When they move the thumb wheel, 4% move it as far as it can go, 40% 
move it only a little, and 56% move it a thumb stroke.

3% said that they thought they could improve their usage of the thumb 
wheel and that they would make the effort. 28% thought the were doing 
just fine, 20% thought they could make slight improvements and 27% 
thought that maybe they could make an improvement.

My bottom line is that this is an area that should be mentioned in 
caller school and once a year at your caller meeting, but is is not an 
area that has a lot of problems and it doesn't need much attention.
