    They would sell more mice if they didn't name them after poisonous serpents. What? Are they trying to scare the other mice away?

    It is the first place my right hand goes when I set down at the computer. Shortly afterwards, the left hand ... oh forget it. I started to be perverted, but I feel like breaking precedent today....

    At home I use my left hand, and at work I use my right hand. switching it up on weekends and after work allows one of my arms to rest a bit.

    I needed to remind myself that this thread was about input peripherals for computers. Using your left hand is like having a new girlfriend?

    And how can you train yourself to use a left handed mouse you may ask?
    For me just being born as left handed worked pretty well.

    "Now, Earth creature," he said, "the situation we have in effect is this. We have, as you know, been more or less running your planet for the last ten million years in order to find this wretched thing called the Ultimate Question."

    "Why?" said Arthur, sharply.

    "No - we already thought of that one," said Frankie interrupting, "but it doesn't fit the answer. Why? - Forty-Two ... you see, it doesn't work.

    Ooops. Sorry. Should have RTFA. Wrong Top Mice. I'll go away now.

    After 5 minutes I have to get up and wash my hands. Then I'm ready for a nap. God I am pathetic.
