Hmmmmm.  Somehow I don't think this is the answer you want, but:

1 - Xato knife
1 - solder iron
1 amount solder
1 foot wire wrap


Cut the traces between one and three and re-wire three to one.

A good hardware solution will never do you wrong......

Marc,

Very funny but let's be serious (and at least on a Type 3 mouse, that'd be
an ugly hardware solution).

Hiren,

What are you trying to run on the Sun?  Some packages will allow you to do
this in software (I believe that X11R5 will, but I've never actually
looked).  There may also be a way to do this via SunOS itself, but this
could be dependent on the machine and version you're using.

I begg to differ.  The UGLY hardware solution is:

Remove the right arm of each person who buys a sun, thus creating a market
for the left hand mouse.

This would then STANDARDIZE the Unix world to left handed mice.  And
open up new maketing adds for the competition....like

Buy a Wang.  The computer that won't cost you an arm.


This solution would hurt Sun sales, and confirm the belief that Unix
is for masochists.


One would hope that:
1) the OS would have a n option for left/right handedness
2) This option would be settable and documented

However, does not one of the Sun business divisions sell left/right
handed mice?  

Hiran,  Have you asked Karl?  Or Henning?  And have you posted this question
in the sun newsgroup?
