Thanks, Michelle. I've tried mousing right-handed but just can't do it. I have taught myself to shoot pool and rifles right-handed but that's about as far as I've gotten. I've also fenced right-handed and was surprised at how well I did. I even won! But, today I was looking to buy a circular saw and I knew it would not end well. Oh! How we suffer! Is this considered a "pre-existing condition"?
I will be conducting a class for HS juniors and seniors this fall at St. Lawrence University, in Canton, NY, which I call "Graphic Design Using Open Source Tools." It's my first attempt at teaching and there are some good tips in your article I can apply. I'm not getting into hardware but your concepts are great and I like that WordPress idea; I'll try to work that in. I'm developing the curriculum now and created a WordPress.com site to post assignments and news and have the students then post their final work.
