For spacing and mousing I'm naturally left-handed, but after 
I banged the space bar and clicked the mouse a few dozen thousand 
times too many, I had to switch over to the less painful side.  The 
mouse was easy; once it's switched, it's switched.  (And I was a Mac SE
user at the time, so left button vs. right button wasn't a problem.)
But to switch spacebar thumbs, I needed to retrain my reflexes, so
I taped my left thumb to my palm.  It didn't take long till I was 
back up to speed with the right thumb.
