Notice a key difference though. The imposters are using a right hand, while SL uses a left hand. Ever hear how left-handers are more creative because they're using the creative side of their brain? So our hand represents that SL is for creativity.

Either that or Philip is left-handed, I dunno :D

interesting. I see it as a hand PRINT not an actual hand which would be making everyone elses be using the left. Personally I like your explanation better tho so I guess I should re think how I look at it :)

Ama and I are both left handed (though I am more left sided than he is). (:

I have some neat stats too... I like researching left handedness. (;

Also, as was pointed out by someone much earlier, all avatars seem to be left-handed.

Question to lefties, do you put your mouse on the "wrong" side of the keyboard? And if so, do people freak-out when they try to use your computer?

Actually I'm a right-handed mouser. I was kinda forced into it from all the default keyboard layouts. However, it does leave my left hand free to take notes and stuff which worked out good.

I know rightys that do this. Most to keep the right available for a pen but also to relieve rsi's. I live with one such person and since the mouse buttons are also set up "backwards" it doesnt bother me one bit when I need to use the other computer.

At work I use my mouse with my right hand.

At home I have my mouse and my touchpad on my computers set up for the left hand, but I use both hands (the setup is backwards for my right hand, but I am used to it at home). I usually use the left hand until it gets tired, then switch to right. (:

When my family got our first computer I used my right hand so I didn't have to switch the settings every time I got on, but I trained myself for leftie mousework once I got my own computer years later. It was a bit frustrating to train myself all over again, but I can now use both hands with more or less equal proficiency. (:

I use the mouse on the right side, which works quite nicely. I can do somethings a bit quicker cuz I can write or type while using the mouse.

I'm left handed, and I put the mouse on the left side of the keyboard, but my mouse is right-handed... ie I don't have the buttons swapped. So I still use the left button as the primary button and just hold the mouse at an angle...

Edit: at home, we have both right and left handed people, so we have mousepads everywhere
