Apple did so: it acted to discriminate against lefties. > Why can't they just turn the keyboard over The current flat Mac keyboard has USB ports either side of the keyboard. The previous one had the USB ports in the middle at the back. The latter is very convenient when you've got an LH and a RH person in the house, the former less so. Apple's acted to discriminate against lefties.

Surely by doing that they have only discriminated against keyboards in multiple use by mixed handeds? Ie, promote handed segregation? Quite right I say, it ain't natural! Rowland. -- Woody

That's me told eh? Yep, seems so. Rowland will tell all and sundry that he has a touch of Aspergers syndrome, what he regularly forgets to tell them is that he has not been diagnosed as having it, someone once said it appears he may have a touch of it, so he trots out that he does have it, it's quite fashionable, doncha know. Rowland is a malingerer with nothing better to do than fill up his waking hours having fun on usenet, he has a morbid obsession with morbid obession. He is master of the phantom killfile, he can't killfile anyone as he would miss something, he pretends to use a killfile, but then he falls into his own trap and quotes something that was killfiled, he is great fun, when he is in full swing :-) -- "Telling someone to kill themselves is not harmful: it's merely me expressing an opinion. You try to drive people to suicide - that's evil. My behaviour is perfectly okay; your behaviour is evil - plain and simple evil." Rowland McDonnell - 9th. Mar. 2009 |
