Why a left handed page?
Hey, the Boss is Left-Handed...
Did we have a choice

Our
Favorite Left-Handed Hint: How to make your computer mouse "left-handed"
Caution: Do not attempt
this operation without first warning the other people who use your computer! (Believe me, a little "heads
up" will avoid a whole lot of confusion for your right-handed partnert to say nothing of dodging downright
(excuse the pun) anger that may manifest itself in words you wouldn't want the children to hear.
It's simple. First move your mouse
over to the left side of your computer (just to get in the position._ On your desktop, go to "My Computer".
Double click to open it (still using the right click button even though you're on the left side of the keyboard.)
You'll see stuff like your Hard Drives (DVD Ram Drive E, Removable Disk G and so on. If you don't see "Control
Panel" there, click on the drop-down menu for "My Computer". Click on "Control Panel" and you'll
see items like "Fonts," "Keyboard," and so on. In this list, you should be able to find "Mouse."
Double Click "Mouse" and you'll see "Buttons" and under Buttons "Switch Primary and Secondary
Buttons". Click on that choice which will put a check in the little box. Press "OK". (note:
the mouse will be reset, so you have to press "OK" with the forefinger of your Left Hand before "OK" will
work.
And there you have it. (If your back has been aching when
you use the computer, this switch will help.)
Again, caution: Use your new found power judiciously and don't gloat when you watch right-handers
trying to use your left-handed mouse. It's a great temptation, but we do want world peace which
all begins in the home, am I "left"?
