Right …
I’m left-handed.
You’ve possibly
realised that, if you’ve been reading this blog for a while.
I’m a southpaw that’s always got my eyes peeled on design.
Kettles? Have to have a measuring window on both sides.
Handles … ? Door handles … ? Don’t get me started on handles, scissors, steak knives, tin openers, what-have-you …
Oh … and mice.
Part of the reason I like Macs is the tradition one button mouse: you can change them to left handed use, simply by putting them on the left hand side of the desk.
Windows two button mice, by contrast? You have to fiddle about, trying to find the relevant settings. It’s doable*. But fiddly.
Which is why I’m off to the library.
With Essex Library’s recent upgrade to Windows 10? They managed to remove the ability to change mouse buttons around.
Something I complained about: both to the Library service, AND to my local county councillor, David Kendall.
He’s email, this morning, to tell me that the IT section has added a shortcut to the main desktop of Essex Library computers: something I didn’t notice, the last time I was there.
Hence another trip.
I won’t necessarily believe it: until I see it.
