Very much like getting a new car, and the light switch and wiper controls are "backwards." Do not tell me that it is 'better'. Better or not, to me, it's the same thing. Every time I've gotten a new car, it took me only a few minutes to learn the difference from my old one. Even if I rent a car, I get comfortable with its controls very quickly. And muscle memory - where you automatically reach (because for the last ten years, that is where it was), and in the new car, it isn't there. Ever stall a car out, because you forgot about the clutch (Your regular car not having one), and in the 'emergency' you didn't have time to think about it? No, but I've stalled rental cars in Europe simply because it had been so long since I drove a car with a clutch. Exactly, you'd "forgotten" abut that 'detail'. No. I hadn't forgotten about anything. I was way out of practice and lost my skills at changing gears. I still knew exactly how to do it. Right. In this case you were going back to an older version of "car interface", so it came back to you. Wrong. Nothing "came back" to me. It was never gone. I was still able to do it. Nine times out of ten, I did it with no problem, but every once in a while, being out of practice, I did it somewhat clumsily and I stalled. That was completely different from what you said: "But when I'm having to stop what I've done for a long time, to find out where/how to do it 'here' - it throws me out. Very much like getting a new car, and the light switch and wiper controls are 'backwards' " and "you forgot about the clutch (Your regular car not having one), and in the 'emergency' you didn't have time to think about it?I knew exactly where the clutch pedal was and exactly how to use it." I haven't driven a car with a manual transmission in ten or fifteen years. But put me behind the wheel of one right now, and I could still do it without a problem, since I've forgotten nothing about how to do it (although I probably would stall every now and then because I switched gears clumsily--*not* because I "forgot about the clutch"). |
