[net.works] Hazards of good-handed mousing

I'm left handed.  That may mean I have a "digital" left hand (right brain) and 
an "analog" right hand (left brain).  Reversed from right handers.  Long before 
I ever thought about such things, I played guitar and moused "right handed".  
The digital type fret fingering is done with my left hand and the analog type 
volume and expression strumming is done with my right hand.  I use the mouse 
with my analog right hand.  That means my one-handed chord board is operated 
with my digital left hand, and I found the chord board relatively easy to learn.
 I am lost without the chord board.  It makes all the difference in the world in
using a mouse.

Mousing is definitel analog.  I have often wondered why right-handers chord with
their analog hand and especially why they mouse with their digital hand.  It may
explain why some people dont take instantly to mice.  It explains more why many 
people do not use the chord board.
