[TenTec] sinister doings

[R. Eric Sluder]

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!
