The Commodore Amiga had something similar along with an early 'double 90 degree' cursor [1] and a 1/2 pixel ratio cursor in later versions if the OS [2]. Both are pretty delightful :) [1] http://toastytech.com/guis/amiga1cplpointer.png [2] http://geekometry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/amigaos204-...
Welp, you just gave me a heap'o'nostalgia
I tried a straight upwards cursor once. It felt terrible. The tilt gives the cursor "extended hand" feel.
To a right-handed person it does ...I imagine to a left-handed person it must feel like the cursor/pointer is pointing the "wrong" way. I am wrong on this lefto weirdies? Bonus upvotes for casual slur surely.

You get used to it, just like you do with doors and all the other things designed with righty's in mind.
I don't understand, I'm used to doors with handles on random sides, how are they biased?

My door handle is a knob that turns both ways to open, but turning my right hand (I'm right handed) clockwise is far more comfortable than doing so counterclockwise.

I don't understand how the door is biased here. Turn it one way with your right hand, and the other way with your left, if that is your preference.
Seriously, though, I felt it obvious but I'll spell it out. Some doors open only one way. That way is likely more comfortable for right-handers. Having a doorknob which moves both ways, I have been able to observe that there is a difference in the 'feel' of the way it opens depending on the direction. I offered this as information so you could answer your question yourself.
Good luck! And have a nice day.

Ha ha ha! Thanks for your advice. I shall now be able to enter my bedroom again. Seriously, though, I felt it obvious but I'll spell it out. Some doors open only one way.

Like right-handed screwdrivers.
