Thank you for suggesting that! It's quite fun, isn't it? With a regular
1xx-key keyboard, the mouse is closer to the left hand, anyway. The
reason I thank you is that my current seating arrangement has me leaning
against a sideboard a lot (my monitor is right up against the board) so
it is annoying to reach for the right-handed mouse. The obvious solution
is to put my mouse of the left. The idea just hadn't "clicked".
(Probably 'cos I will have to clear some things away from the
left-of-keyboard desk surface.)

PS. I know one group of people that has a left-hand moulded mouse from a
previous user on a now-shared computer. They insist on keeping a right-
handed button configuration!?!?!
