I don't customize my general computing workspace for being left handed as most things are already mostly agnostic, and the things that aren't are on the trivial side or features I don't typically use. But it's a different story when you work all day in a dedicated application under the pressure of deadlines. To truly take advantage of your talents and skills efficiently, you must be able to work intuitively. Being forced to remap your brain to fit into someone else's ideology is not intuitive and a leading cause of accidents for left handers in a right handed world. 9 out of 10 times you successfully make the adjustment once you adapt, but it's that one slipup that costs you because your brain natively wants to do things differently.

Thus, I'm a lefty using the mouse and keyboard like a righty. Only way to stay productive when going to other people's machines in my opinion. I feel sorry for the rest of the lefties out there who have to struggle along. :( Eric T.
