inverted mouse functions

Ok, this is a serious posting. My wife uses a mouse upside down. I mean she rotates the mouse 180 degrees when she's on the computer. Yes, that means that when she scrolls down, the cursor moves up. When she scrolls to the right, the cursor moves left. This is how her brain works! (Crazy, I know!) The problem is, her hand gets cramped from having to contort it to click the mouse buttons. Does anyone know of an extension for 9.x that will invert the mouse functions? Believe it or not, on Microsoft's Knowledge Base, they actually have an article explaining how to re-wire a PS2 mouse to achieve this. Go figure!

Fix her behaviour, not the mouse. She's obviously causing herself medical problems by using it the wrong way, and fixing the mouse to work "right" isn't going to make her suffer any less.

I would shudder to think how she drives a five-speed automobile.
