Having trouble using my left hand on the "mouse pad" on my laptop.

Any one else?

the pad doesn't know the different between a right and left hand. So it's not the computer.

I use my desktop's mouse left-handed, so no -- no problem using my laptop's trackpad left-handed.

If using your left hand is awkward, why not operate the trackpad with your right hand?

I can use my left hand too but it doesn't feel like the right hand.


I can tell when some-else is doing it because it isn't me.

Silly boy, left handed has often been referred to as wrong handed, so, YOU"RE USING THE WRONG HAND!

This is a riddle/poll.

So sometimes in the morning when you have coffee in your right hand and you try to move the arrow with the pad you don't run into a little trouble?

I find this hard to believe!

OK let me ask another question.
