You type with your right hand? What's that mean? What kind of typing? (I discovered, having made a trip to NSW for the purpose as I would've needed a gun licence to have done in it in Victoria, that I'm no better or worse at using a paintball gun with my left hand than my right earlier this week. To summarise an earlier few postings, I write with my right hand, use an axe left-handedly, and do most other things ambidextrously. As to feet, I'd probably be entirely confused if I tried to kick a footy* with my left foot...) *Aussie-rules style. -- Tristan <kesuari@...> Yesterday I was a dog. Today I'm a dog.
