Point taken.
Do these things come in left and right handed versions ?
Not such a silly question since the world is built for right handed people
whereas southpaws make up at least 10% of the population ........... as with
guitars, cheque books, the computer mouse, scissors, tea cups, hammers,
golf clubs, etc, we are at a distinguished disadvantage with lots of common
products.
Do I have to worry about handedness when it comes to graphics tablets ?
