| 1257144 | 2012-02-02 23:11:00 | Well, we have often told clients there is no question to silly to ask right? I thought that was true until yesterday... A new client was loaned a laptop for a course she is attending and I was asked by the current owner to clear his stuff off it and set it up for her. Thats fine, did all that, she goes to use it and cant, she is used to having a mouse, so I went out to the car and returned with a new logitech bog-standard optical usb mouse and plugged it in and started using it. Being left handed, I had it on the left side of the laptop (no, I dont reverse the buttons, have always used it normally). She came back to see how I was getting on and out came 2 questions that changed my whole world of thinking. The first question was: "Oh, its a left handed mouse, will it still work for right handed people?" and the second was related to the first "If I move it to the right side of the laptop, will it still work?" Professionally, I answered "yes" to both, but thinking about it since.... I think I'm still in shock at the questions lol. |

| 1257150 | 2012-02-03 00:55:00 | Umm...just wondering...how much does a shadow weigh? | Winston001 (3612) | ||
| 1257151 | 2012-02-03 01:05:00 | Umm...just wondering...how much does a shadow weigh? Actually, it is measurable (with the right gear) and is less than zero. You can calculate it by weighing an object with & without a shadow. The lower number of photon impacts slightly reduces the measurable weight of the object the shadow is cast upon. :) |

I think the answer to the 1st question should have been, "No, it's a left handed laptop, but don't worry I'll set it up for you to use right handed". LL |
