Q: I'm left-handed. What mouse do you recommend I use?
A: Logitech MX 610 Left-Hand Laser Cordless Mouse is the only one I know of.
Based on my experience with Logitech, connect and try it first without inserting the software CD.
How to keep track of mouse on the screen
Q: I waste a lot of time looking for my mouse on the screen. Is there a way to change the look of the mouse's arrow, so I could find it more easily?
A: You want a bigger pointer that contrasts more with the normal colors on the screen?

Another option is to display pointer trails, though I personally find it annoying. You can click the Pointer Options tab in #2 above and select Display Pointer Trails.
There's also an option there for showing the location of the pointer when you press the CTRL key. (With this option on, whenever you press the CTRL key, the mouse pointer is shown like the epicenter of an earthquake.)

How do I protect my computer keyboard?
Q: I keep getting potato chip crumbs and other bits of food stuck between the keys of my keyboard, and I know I'm going to accidentally pour coffee on it one of these days. I've seen those transparent covering on keyboards, but I don't know what they're called. Where can I buy them?
A: I've heard them called keyboard skins, keyboard dust cover and keyboard protector. Fellowes even makes custom-made ones to "snugly fit" your keyboard.
I don't know about beverages, but with cookie crumbs, after you turn off your computer, turn the keyboard upside down and gently shake it. Cover with a piece of cloth when not in use.
