There is an INIT that works on the Mac Plus, I know, and it might work on
machines that use ADB mice. The file is called "April1 init" or something
like that. I plunk it in system folders here and there every April Fool's
day. You would be amazed at how fast you can get used to using the mouse
in reverse like this. If you cannot find a copy of it, let me know and I
will send it to you.
