How do I get a Left handed scroll bar?

Are there any left handed people who have figured out how to move the scroll bar in WM5 to the left of the screen? Reaching across the screen with my left hand to scroll up or down blocks my view. This is easy to fix on the palm OS, there's got to be some way of doing this in WM5...

Help, anyone???

I was sitting on the couch last night next to my wife, who has never used a pda. She looks over at me fiddling with some programs and settings on my x51v, and the first thing she asks me is, "Do they make those palm thingies for lefties?"

Consider for a moment my wife who can't tell the difference between a PPC and a palm. She wouldn't know what to do with it if she had one. I had never mentioned the difficulties of being left handed and owning a PPC. The very first time she sees me using the device, she immediately can tell there is something intuitively wrong with a left handed person reaching across the screen to use a right sided scroll bar.

If this problem is so obvious to my wife, why isn't it obvious to Microsoft?

Help me out guys. Does anyone know any hacks or programs which will fix this egregious oversight?
