Left hand is usually on inflator... right hand is usually on the line... keeping the right hand directly in front of my face if horizontal

Right, but only because I tend to stick my left in places that are not good for computers.
I used to wear it on the right but have now changed over to the left. I carry my light in my right hand and need to shine in on my left wrist to see the computer at night.
I used to switch light hands every time I wanted to see the computer. Having it on the inflator wrist isn't an issue since I don't need to stare at my computer on ascent and I can see it anyway in that case just by looking up a little.

I wear it on the left out of the wristwatch habit. As for operating the BC inflator with the left hand, I don't see the problem. I only need to glance at the computer every now and then, not stare obsessively at it. And I don't seem to need to use the BC hose typically, maybe for a second or two for a minor adjustment. As I "brake" to the 18' depth I usually am close enough to neutral to maintain it with my breathing.
Besides, I usually do my stop horizontal so to dump requires raising my arm only about 6 inches or so.
What computer resets the three minute countdown anyway? Not a Suunto, they will stop the count if you drift too low or high but you still get credit for time served.

Ditto, but I wear it high on my forearm.
Wear my computer on the right as I wear a dry suit...so when i dump air by raising my left arm i dont get that annoying little rapid ascent beep!!

Left, twisted a bit to the inside.
I find that I can hold my inflator up and see the computer at the same time. Its right in my face in fact. That leave my right hand free to hold the anchor line, line to smb or what ever with my right hand.
BTW I use a suunto computer and never have problems with it this way.

I wear it on both...I use a Citizen Cyber Aqualand NX and a Cochran Commander, one on the left, one on the right. I like having redundancy and I like the NX because it records the dive better than the Cochran (at least since the Cochran started acting up at 220 dive count) and I like the Cochran cause it has nive big numbers....

Left. Easier to watch while working hose on 3/15. It's a Sunto.
