Q: Scrolling going the opposite way after the mountain lion upgrade

Just upgraded to Mountain Lion - now my wireless mouse goes in the opposite direction of the way I swipe on its surface. If i swipe up, the screen scrolls down. If I swipe down, the screen scrolls up. If I swipe right, screen scrolls to the left. Went to system preferences - but didn't seem obvious how to change this. Help?

Apple Magic Mouse, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Hello:

That is "normal" behavior...I think since OS X 10.7. Apple is, I think, is trying to make all of its devices (iPad, iPhone, iMac) behave in the same way. One gets used to it rather quickly, but if you want it back like it was, go to system preferences>mouse and uncheck "scroll direction natural."
