Non-Intuitive

ggr@acci.com.au (Greg Rose)
(smirk)

All I wanted to do was find out the temperature predicted for
tomorrow. But I'd missed the television weather report. So I looked up
the telephone directory. The index mentioned "recorded information
services". Great, turn to page whatever.

"Recorded information service numbers all start with 0055 [this is
Australia we're talking about]. The services themselves are listed
under 'D' for 'double-oh-double-five'".

Great. Turn to the 'D' section, and look towards the end of the 0055
list for 'Weather', but it isn't there. So I started at the beginning.
Fortuitous, that. The weather service is listed under 'A', for "Ask
the Weather".

You really do have to ask it, and nicely, too! It reads out a list of
places, and when you hear the one you want, you must say "yes please",
for it to go into the detail.

I love intuitive ways to use things. Now I know why.
