I thought that was just a Simpsons thing. Left handers rule!

Was it called the Leftorium? It would be a lot cooler if it was. :)

Southpaw power!
:D
What on earth did they sell there? Can openers? Notebooks? Pencils with the words right-side-up? Coffee mugs with the writing on the front instead of the back?

The shop is next to the Tartan Paint Emporium, The long Weight Shop and Chicken Ribs R Us

There used to be a store in the Portland area. It had scissors, notebooks that had the spirals on the opposite side, pens with quick-dry ink so your hand didn't drag through it. I can't remember what else, it's been probably 25 years since I was there.

Oh, if only I'd had that left-handed ruler when I was at school, life would've been so much easier.
ukgimp>> I hear the business is slow at the Long Weight Shop these days.

Do they sell left handed mice? And keyboards with the Number pad on the left? That would be cool.
I would give my right hand to be ambidexterous :-)

I'm ambidextrous and mostly I just get confused. It's not usually a problem but occasionally I end up clicking furiously and wondering why contextual menus keep appearing. And then I realize I thought I had the mouse in my left hand but it's in my right and I should be clicking with the other finger. Gah. Screws me up in tennis, too.

Lefty things I still need to find: Measuring cup with the stuff on the correct side. Lefty ladle.
Lefty things I can't do without: Corkscrew Scissors (beware the left handed scissors that are really just rightys with a lefty handle)

Visited a lefty store in Boston. Finally found a pair of scissors I could use. Nothing like growing up in art class and not being able to cut things properly.

I just saw a stat that says the left-handed population is approx 11-13%. It's time to drop support for these genetic aberrations and force them to upgrade to the non-sinister path.

Doesn't it get confusing when you have to right-click with a left-handed mouse?

No. You learn. It is second nature to me now. If I change to an XP laptop and use and external mouse I cant change the setting and that messes with my mind :)
