mouse wheel wrong direction?

[Bob Snyder]

I find the use of the terms 'up' and 'down' in this context to be very 
ambiguous. First of all, my mouse wheel doesn't move up or down at all. 
It moves 'away from me' or 'toward me'.

When I move my mouse wheel away from me the text of a web page (for 
instance) moves 'down' on the screen which allows me to read things that 
are farther 'up' on the page.

When on the desktop, moving the mouse wheel away from me moves to a 
lower numbered workspace. This is roughly analogous (at least to me) of 
allowing me to read things farther up (i.e. earlier) on the a web page.

Is this how yours works?
