Lefty Troubles

Hey all you kids out there in Axim land, I have a question for ya. I love my ax, and the pocketpc format, but I just have one problem. I'm left handed, so when I try to use the stylus to move a scroll bar up and down, my hand covers the screen! Is there anyway to set the scroll bar to the left side of the screen? Dell has already earned my eternal love for putting the jog bar in just the right position for a lefty to use their index finger, now I just need to resolve this. Thanks in advance.

Sorry a useless righty here :D From what I've found looking around the board, there's not much you can with msft's software... here's a silly thread, but they did touch on this topic:

I tried to search with google for you, and didn't come up with much. I know several of my apps offer a lefty option, but I've never seen anything with the o/s. That's really an oversight, as lefties are what, 15% of the population? Microsoft, get with it!

This is the third go-round for this topic that I remember. There is no way to switch the scroll bar except reading upside down. A few programs can switch the scroll bar within that program, but you can't switch the OS scroll bar.

Thanx anyway guys, I couldnt find any way to do it either. Its a real shame, lefties get ignored all the time, we're an oppressed minority! Heh, we need our own advocacy group or something. Oh well, guess I'll just have to live with the scroll bar thing, thanx again though!
