Here it is: --------------- Return-Path: Received: from MIT-MC by RUTGERS.ARPA with TCP; 17 Jan 84 23:20:34 EST Date: 17 January 1984 23:21 EST From: Robert Elton Maas Subject: Track balls and other devices for a right-handed world To: buck @ NRL-CSS cc: HUMAN-NETS @ MIT-MC Even for righthanded users, it's nice to have a lefthanded trackball, for when you want to alternate between trackball motion and pressing keys near the right edge of the keyboard without shifting/twisting your whole body to the right (uncomfortably) to put the left hand on the righthand keys and right hand on the trackball (or worse, crossing arms). Thus there should be a trackball at each end of the keyboard. -------
