I can't use a mouse left-handed for shit. But I can use a trackpad with either hand equally well.
Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

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

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.

'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"
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.

Maybe that explains Evil Jimi's left handed proclivities.
Well, yeah, that was the joke I was trying to make...

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Apple announced newer faster Mac Pros today. They start at $2799 but you can configure them up to several thousand dollars (including software and accessories).
The really expensive bits are the 32 GB of RAM ($9100), the NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 video card ($2850), the four 15,000 RPM hard drives ($800 each), the two 30" Cinema Displays ($1700 each), a Fibre Channel Card ($1000), and an unlimited-client copy of Mac OS X Server ($999).

How do I create a screen capture in Firefox?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I dunno anything special about it "in Firefox." For any screenshot, I hit the Print Screen (PrtSc) key to record the screenshot to the clipboard, then launch Paint and do a Ctrl-V to paste the screenshot, then print or save-to-file as needed.
eta: I found this Firefox add-on that might be more what you are looking for.
