    I'm left-handed and the Newt has problems with my handwriting. However,
I think part of the problem was I was never really taught handwriting (the
teachers just put us sinister folk in the back of the class and let us fend
for ourselves most of the time ... at least they didn't tie our left arms
back and force us into the 'right' way of doing things ... though they
always made us sit in right-handed desks). Anyway, the upshot of that
pleasant little anecdote is that my handwriting sucks and isn't even
decipherable by me at times.
    On the other hand (pun intended) it has no problem with my printing.

Peter
