Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Dunno when they added it, just noticed today. Looks like Google Maps added a tab for terrain! Very cool!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

It was sometime in December, I think. It's pretty nifty.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Ginger ... Have you tried switching your mouse to left-hand use? Seriously. About ten years ago I totally messed my right arm up--can't recall how I did it--and could barely lift it for a couple of weeks. As a result, I had to start using my mouse in my left hand. Took a few days to get used to it but I've never gone back to using my right hand. I am, by the way, right-handed for everything else. Except masturbation but that's a topic for another forum.

Ginger ... Have you tried switching your mouse to left-hand use?

Not Ginger, but I mouse left at work and right at home. Actually at home I have a touchpad, but I tend to use that with my right hand. I'm naturally right handed.

I find at work it actually increases my productivity since I do a lot of work on the number pad part of my keyboard, so my right hand can do the numbers and my left can mouse at the same time.

This was something suggested by my surgeon after I had my carpel tunnel surgery on my right hand. Was one of the best suggestions ever.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I switched to the goofy-mouse a couple years ago as I noticed my right hand was getting too tired and achey. It seems to spread it out.

Note that I can only mouse with my left (I do graphics and game play quite well) but I can't use trackpads or trackpoints to save my life!

One of the best aspects of left-mousing in an office environments is that it disinclines most coworkers from using your workstation. :-)
