I never used to think about such shit
, but a couple of years ago I saw Raven tell someone to swap their Enter and Exit links on a site so that the Enter was on the right, closer to the natural position of the mouse/cursor - and it really rings true. It's one of those things that, once someone points it out to you, it suddenly appears so obvious and you wonder why it hadn't occurred to you before. Even if you are one of the oddballs who keeps the mouse physically on the left, the cursur will still tend to be on right side of the screen due to the vertical scroll bar.
