I just saw one that was symmetric the other day, it was new the guy
said (a laptop user at the cafe')
(I mean it wasn't right handed)
Don't know about the shape, but I might get one and try it, save my
adb Kensington for the adb macs.

happens with a lot of stuff. How they push the 10x memory cards for
cheap when the are so slow so people buy more.
there's a pretty big chance that macs are not built as well as they
were.
Why they do it. Partly I think so that people will buy new ones
(quicker) - they have to stay in business.
Also to render customers dependent and submissive and not too smart
shoppers (this can be resisted if you care to)
