I’m left handed. It’s a lot simpler than that.

Back when computers were really expensive, our family had only one. Macs had a one button mouse. The right handers could put it on the right of the machine and the left handers could put it on the left. In other words, the machine was ambidextrous without having to software swap the buttons around just because someone wanted to use the computer for a minute.

We left handers still can’t buy an ergonometric mouse. There’s enough of us you’d think someone would realize the market opportunity.

Ha! My wife and I are both left handed. We have one Mac and two PCs. The Mac is the one that actually makes money in this house.

No way. Wintel uses that discriminatory two-button mouse with the main function on the left button, making it easier for righties. And as we all know, all Macs ever made have come with ambidestrous, single-button mice.
