Here, my A1000 is on the left side of a table and the Unix PC 3b1
is on the right.  Due to space limitations, the two machines' mice
are in between the machines on the table.  This makes it expedient
to use the amiga mouse with right hand and the 3b1 with the left.
I don't see any advantage of using one hand over the other.  I
suppose if the machines were reversed I'd switch hands
appropriately.

The IBM AT clone is banished to its own corner (go sit in the
corner!).  It has an optical mouse.  When I use that machine, I
usually have the mouse board in my lap, as the pc is sitting on a
very small typing cart.  I'm not sure which hand I use most
frequently to position the mouse in that case.

I wonder if there is any left-brain versus right-brain significance
to the fact the amiga is on the left and the 3b1 is on the right
:-).
