[Bill Vlahos]

What really drives me crazy is when a left handed person customizes  
their mouse and switches the buttons. The left button becomes the  
contextual button and the right button is for selecting.

Since it is all done in software there are no hints that the mouse is  
different other than it is almost always left of the keyboard.
