Al,
As a lefty I totally agree with your observations as a kid from the late
60's myself. I now use a mouse right-handed, and can operate a set of
paddles right handed which sure comes in handy for note taking during a CW
contact.
Re. the Savage and Remington comment earlier, I just taught myself to shoot
right-handed after inheriting right-handed guns. Sure comes in handy on
auto-loaders. Hot brass hitting you in the face is no fun!
