Obviously, you are not left handed... are you?
Do you mean to tell me that you rightys have to be able to *see* what
you've just written so that you can keep writing? Wow, society is
worse off than I thought...
No, I am not left handed indeed. Yes, I need to see what I'm writing,
or it will look terrible! So yes, maybe society is way worse off then
you thought! ;-)
If you mean you need to see it to keep it all straight, that's one
thing. If you need to keep reading it because your attention span is
too short to remember what you wrote, then... Oh look, a butterfly....
[Way OT!]From what I've seen of left-handers, they write like that
because they were taught to have the "correct" slant to their writing.
Either my teachers were different or I didn't care, because I write
with no slant and I hold my hand just mirror-image of what a righty
does. Maybe because I'm somewhat ambidextrous (== I'm as bad at things
w/ my left hand as w/ my right).
But my point was that also working on paper hands can get in the way
pretty easily. True also for right handed persons (e.g. drawing charts
or such). So also touchscreens are annoying, you can see a lot less
that way!
I agree.
PS With my apologies to all people that were looking for Cocoa related
stuff. It's just that sometimes replying can be very tempting...
Perhaps Cocoa-talk mailing list won't be a bad idea...
P'shaw! That's what "[OT]" is for... :-)
