but the trackpoint continues to strike me as the stupidest input idea in the history of computing.

Is that the nipple or clit looking thing in the middle of the keyboard?

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

Absolutely. I love the gobsmacked look someone gets when they try to use my set-up. When tech support takes over my computer long distance sometimes I'm nice and tell them the "right-mouse-click" and "left-mouse-click" are reversed. Usually depends on how condesending they have been with me.

That's the one. I've been calling it the "keyboard clitoris" for years, occasionally to the very wrongest audiences...

The mouse seems bigger when you use the opposite hand.

Maybe that explains Evil Jimi's left handed proclivities.

I have tried switching the mouse, but I am so very right handed and a lot of what I do is graphics. I never use the number pad.

I can't use a mouse left-handed for shit. But I can use a trackpad with either hand equally well.

I can switch mouse hands without any problem, but I don't change the buttons when I switch sides.

Ha! I call it the nubbin.

At my last job, we exclusively used IBM/Lenovo laptops, so it was learn to use the trackpoint or else have to roll a mouse around on my knee -- I got really good at it eventually.

Then I had to relearn using a trackpad for the iBook.

After all the solitaire-playing with my left hand, I started up with the graphics without any problem at all. I guess that even mild vice can have its rewards.
