scroll bar and drop down list usability

["Mark Bullock" <mbullock integrityol com>]

Hi Folks,

It increasingly strikes me that scroll bars should be located on the left
side of windows rather than the right.  The same is true of the button which
displays the list for drop down list controls.

Of course I'm assuming a left-to-right language, like english.

My cursor is usually close to the left side of the page.  Why not put
commonly used controls nearby?  That would make my wrist happy.

Even better would be a configurable option for the placement of these
things.  And there are undoubtedly others I haven't considered.

Thanks, Mark Bullock
