Five Gadgets for Lefties
For lefties, the tech world can be tough. Catholics, for example, think you've got the devil in you. Older folks might remember being forced to switch writing hands in school. The Inuits would have thought you were a sorcerer. Even the English word 'sinister' is Latin for left.Meanwhile, gadgets -- mice, keyboards, phones, game controllers -- seem to have a thing against southpaws as well. Tech Digest has been kind enough to compile a list of five southpaw friendly gadgets like the Virgin Mobile-branded Sony Ericsson LH-Z200, a mobile phone with the key pad flipped around for left-handed convenience. There's even a left-handed Swiss Army Knife. Check out the link for the rest of the left-friendly items.

Okay, honestly, a left-handed cell phone? Some of this stuff is just stupid. Now, I do prefer left-handed scissors and things that aid in activities which require a degree of manual-dexterity, but it's not my eyes that have a problem operating in a primarily right-hand oriented world, it's my actual hand strength and precision, so reversing the orientation of the keys on a keypad only serves to confuse me. I don't read backwards for goodness sake! I must say, though, I do like left-handed pens and pencils...

Catholics don't think lefties have the devil in them. Where did you ever get that stupid idea?
I've been happily married to a lefty for years and none of my fellow Catholics (or anyone else) has ever suggested that. I have a distant cousin who is a Jesuit priest, and he's left-handed.

There was a Simpsons episode where Flanders starts a shop a the mall carrying only left-handed stuff. I forget what all he had, but there were enought things to fill the shop. I was amazed. You'd have to live in a really big city to support a shop like that. I am from Wyoming. Some people have to go 100 miles to even get to a mall. Peace. Annonshay

To whom it may concern: Yes, at one time Catholics considered left handed people as children of the devil. I know, because I was one of those "spawn of the devil." Now at age 74, I wonder what happened to the Catholic Church I once knew. We had to go through sheer Hades to marry a non Catholic; were forbidden to read the Bible; had to go to confession every week; couldn't wear spaghetti strap dresses to church; had to wear a hat or a veil on our head, and on and on and on. So, Mrs. macwog, rethink your thinking. It's about time some technology was invented to improve the lot of we maligned lefties.

and in French, a droit (think adroit) means "to the right" while "gauche" (and no one wants to be gauche!) is left! Just remember...the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body, and the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body...therefore...only left handed people are in their right mind!
