I've been using a lefty mouse for about a year and a half and love it!
Our IS dept found this one for me (we are not affiliated w/them). It's
made
by Logitech Inc. in Fremont, California. Sales phone # 800 231 7717.
A quick look thru their catalog doesn't show a lefty trackball, but my
copy is dated 1993, so maybe.....
