Left and Right Mousing

I've settled into left mousing at work, and right mousing at home. Has it really been two years that I've been doing this? By now it's completely natural. Anyway, I finally got tired of manually switching between the two different settings twice a day on OS X and wrote two AppleScripts to do the job for me. One for setting left mouse, and one for right. Unfortunately the script walks through the GUI process. If anyone knows a better way to do this, I'm all ears.

Here's the left mouse script. The right mouse script is exactly the same, only switch click radio button "Left" for "Right". I added the delay 2 statements in because my G4 laptop just can't load the preferences that fast. On an Intel box, you can most likely remove those.
