True too. But just ask my father about that, he might disagree. His 
favorite gripe is, "Why the #@$# can't they standardize where basic 
controls like windshield wipers, emergency lights, etc. are located?" I 
kind of have the same gripe, due to where I work, with how they can't 
seem to decide where to put fracking door handles, or how they open the 
door. Interestingly, this is one common factor in Windows upgrades too. 
They can't decide where to put things, so keep changing them, and every 
version you have to rediscover where they put the blasted speed control 
from the wipers. Trivial, until you find yourself **needing** to change 
it, but trivial enough, its probably "not" going to be the first thing 
you try to figure out the new location for.
