This question has been asked several times in the past and unfortunately, no one has ever come up with a solution.

at least in "contact breeze" you can set the scroll bar to the left hand side. It does take away some of the clutter on the right side.

About the only thing I miss from my PALM days is the hack that allowed me to move the scroll bar to the left. Really, I am surprised that no program is available to do this for ppc platform.


BTW stoneraven9, you're memory tutorial is great!

You know, us lefties are the only ones in our right minds
Probably is the reason we are so able to make due in a right handed world.

Hold the PPC upside-down. That will put the scroll bar on the left-side!

Lol sounds good...
My guess is that the scroll bar's been hardcoded into the OS. Ah well...

Its application dependent I do believe. Its not hard to do in an app but I can't think of how you could force other apps to do it.
