I'm also a programmer, as working in front of computer day and
day, my right hand is so tired and ached. So I tried to mouse
in both hands. I find that it is really an efficient way to
release pains. At first I switched the mouse buttons in windows
control panel, but it taked me several steps to finish it, and
I can't flip the cursor, so I maked a utility. With it I can
switch mouse buttons and flip the cursor immediately by
pressing a hotkey. I gave it a name: "Ambidexter Mouse", do
you want to have a try: www.ambidexter-mouse.com

A simpler solution

a better one is to use the keyboard.. death to all rodents...!!!!!

is to train your left hand to interchange the
function of forefinger and index finger. Surprizingly easy. It
also allows multitasking of mousing and pencil operation.

Please do not sent private email responses to newsgroup posting.

BTW, there are excessive applications out there that do not have
suitable keyboard commands available. I find linux is worse than
Windoze in this respect. So let the poor beast sleep.
