From JOHN DOW
In reply to J. C. Stopes-Roe’s letter regarding the incompetence of
the telephone plug designer (Letters, 12 October), surely the ultimate award
for design incompetence should go to the developers of the push-button phone.
Why they had to ignore convention and reverse the order of button placement,
I and millions of others will never know. To turn from a calculator to a
telephone is a daily excercise in frustration.
