MieNet's 67-cursor collection is unique in a number of ways. To begin with, the collection has equally been developed for left- & right-handed PC users. It is additionally (but by no means exclusively) meant for guitar players and guitar lovers, as well as for those who carry Ireland or Brazil in their hearts, as will be evident below.
One more special feature is that this is in fact a double collection: approximately half of the cursors are blue, the other half red.
As a token of illustration, among the sixteen arrows (pointers) of various shapes and sizes comprising the collection, 50% are for left-handed users (whereas 50% of these are blue, and 50% red) while the remaining 50% of these pointers are for right-handers (likewise equally divided between red and blue). The same approach applies to all other cursors in MieNet's Collection.
In addition to the pointers just used as illustration, this collection includes a couple of very original pointers: guitar pointing cursors and very slim pointers that take up little screen space and do not obscure text under them. Laptop users will also find this collection useful: as described in the "ReadMe" file, some of the cursors have been developed with laptop users in mind. The same goes for people who usually need to make an effort to locate the cursor on their screens: some cursors have likewise been developed specially for those whose eye-sight is no longer hawk-sharp.
There are matching Help cursors for all pointers, in addition to Pen cursors, Waiting cursors, Working in the Background cursors, etc. In sum, the typical cursor set needed for Windows 95 and later versions is available.
A good number of the cursors are animated, ranging from pleasant elegance to cuteness and humor. A couple of these are waving flags (Irish and Brazilian).
This collection, originally developed for personal use and enlarged at friends' requests, was made available on-line also by request, in view of the surprising scarcity of left-handed cursors available for download since Win95 was released. MieNet's Cursor Collection does not discriminate in either direction: whether you are a left- or a right-handed PC user, you will find an equivalent number of cursors to enjoy, and to help make your computing experience all the more pleasant, both from a practical and from an aesthetical viewpoint.
Substitute your old cursors and add some visual delight to the time you spend at your PC!

There are 67 cursors all together in this collection, as follows:
Sixteen of these are simple arrow cursors (pointers): eight of them are
left-handed and eight right-handed, where four of each sort are large,
whereas the other four are regular sized. Among these, two of each are
blue, two are red, two are black (marked "Blk"), whereas two may seem to be black (marked "Inv") but are not really black cursors--these take the color opposite to the color on the part of the screen upon which they appear. These last ones may prove handy also on some laptop screens. The larger cursors, in turn, can be especially helpful on large monitor screens and/or high resolution settings.
There are, in addition, a couple of originally shaped slim cursors (a left
and a right-handed one, both blue), which take up very little screen space
and do not obscure text under them. There are matching Help cursors for
these, as well.
The other Help cursors and the Pen cursors, in addition to the animated
cursors, also come in left- and right-handed editions. The remaining
cursors are suitable for either left- or right-handed people.
There are four different types of animated cursors, which represent some
creative work inspired on cursors I have seen somewhere. In principle, two
of these are meant to be used for "waiting," and the other two for "working in the background," but these animated cursors can of course be assigned
either function, "waiting" or "working in the background," according
individual taste. Additionally, there is a waving Brazilian flag, which may be
optionally used for "waiting"-- or for "working in the background," just as
well.
Four (4) cursors were later added, as
follows: two guitar cursors (left- &
right-handed), a left-handed guitar
question-cursor, and a waving Irish flag
waiting-cursor.
