It's got to be harder to write than to read! ;)
Not really. If you are left-handed and were forced to do things right-handed you have an advantage. One you never realized until you were older and learned to twist wire or use scissors or other tools with your right hand. RB (right-brained) people look at things globally without the detail. LB people look at the detail. RB/LB have the ability to do both (much to the detriment of bosses who are mostly LB and want detail. Of course many LB people learned to look at things globally and ignore the detail. They learned to take advantage of both viewpoints. It's just easier for RB people. But more difficult in the workforce.

In solving problems with your Shop Smith don't look at the detail but at what the global problem is. Often it is something simpler that what you might think.

You are right on sir. I am right and left brained. I have always been thankful of that (in everything from music to software development to design. I think it is an asset, but sometimes .... :)

No problem as long as the LB knows what the RB is doing and vice versa! :eek:

I did pretty good at reading the test text. But being left handed, my right brain just did not like to understand 17 as being "it".

Once again, 3D, nice photography! :)
