Light bulb moment

I think she meant right?

I know that, Nonu.

Why did your son's teacher have to make him write with his left hand if he was already left-handed? It's a simple enough question.

{People are either right or left handed duh !!!

I don't understand this business of left-handers being 'made' to write with their left hands - surely that's what they would naturally do?

I am lefthanded too. I have always used the mouse on the right hand side. I find that myself and other lefties I know are very adaptable in a right handed world we have to be .

nonu as a child I was one of four lefties in my class. We were made to sit together with our right hands tucked underneath our bottoms or behind our backs. They had no idea what they were up against as the majority of my maternal female relations were also lefties.

My parents bought me a fountain pen with a special nib designed for lefties but this didn't help in exams as by then I had developed a peculiar method of holding my pen which made writing painstakingly slow but very very neat.

DD2 is left-handed. DD3 and I use the mouse on the "family" Mac on the left too. Not a problem. Easier than using it on the right now that we've leftified the buttons on it. Not sure I could manage with a rightie any more.

My son was left handed when was a boy and his teacher made him write with his left hand

I have a lefthanded GC and I use a mouse on the right hand side to get him used to using both hands.

Prefer Coxes myself.

Only granny smiths though!

You are clearly an Applephile, jeni.

Gadgets! I said to my son once thzt I was a technophobe! His reply?
No way! You're the original gadget mother!

If I had the slightest idea what they are jeni I night say yes, or indeed no, but

Oh Jeni why don't we have a sorry and guilty emoticon? Just bring yourself and talk about it instead.

I mean the touchpad, Bags - had to get the guide book out to check!

I'm happy with the track pad, but the cordless mouse comes into its own for desktop publishing.

I have wireless mouse and keyboard and printer and use rechargables .. they seem to last well.. but I do have trouble with the laptop and sometimes resort to plugging in a mouse.

Hey! I'm on crutches! I have a problem with me let alone baggage!
Do you want the speakers, shuffle, macpro, and I phone as well?

Jeni bring it all with you to the Midlands meet up and 'sell' the idea to me.

You can have a wireless keyboard with the iPad!

Yes, nonu get with the vibes!

Don't think I could type so quickly with a touchscreen but might borrow my DS3's fiancee's and have a go. How do you manage with the smaller screen? It frustrates me on holiday when we use the netbook with such a small screen. I'm waiting to be convinced i should get a tablet.

Slidey thing? Do you mean swipe?

I don't like the slidey thing, so it's turned off. Confuses the GDs when they go on my computer, but they soon adapted to the mouse!

Join the mouseless century!
