...so why is it that the numbers on your calculator are set out opposite to the numbers on you touch phone or keyboard?
Why is that huh? Nobody can give me a decent answer. Is it:
a) A copyright issue between the calculator invention guys and the keyboard invention guys?
b) A BETA versus VHS scenario?
c) Something to do with old dial phones? (someone said something about where the zero was...or something like that...)
d) A complete fluke?
e) A conspiracy by those who are responsible for my paranoia?
e) Designed that way so you can clearly tell the difference between when you're adding up the cost of life and not just whinging about it down the receiver?
Any suggests are most welcome. It's bending my head.
I'm goneski.

Clicky clicky for theory.
Most likely was in early days you had 5 numbers and 2 letters for phone number. They didn't want the alphabet to go backwards hence "1" is at the top.
Bruiser.
That is gold my friend...
I thank you *tips hat*
