How's Betty?

Anyway, it actually looks Retro if you can ignore the pushbuttons. Not exactly
what we're accustomed to, but, as with mold, it may grow on you.

Its ease of use remains to be seen. I just bought the Uniden 785D (about 6
months ago) and it's a learning curve. I'm convinced that they failed to
correctly execute the Weather Alert Features, and have written exhaustively to
Uniden about this. They steadfastly believe themselves to be correct. I
believe that someone is going to get hurt if they rely on the Weather Alert
feature. I have gone so far as to contact the Consumer Product Safety
Commission, and am actually awaiting a response from Uniden before pursuing it
further.

So many of the newer technologies have been inadequately thought out, daytime
driving lights on vehicles for one. So many people now drive at night without
turning on the headlights because A: The lights are sufficient for them to see
forwards. B: Many cars have digital dashboards, and the information is there
without additional lighting from the dashlights of old. As a result, an
increasing amount of cars can be seen driving through the city without any
taillights. (They never turned on the headlights). Oooops.

You'd think that someone would discover this, but noooo. Modern engineers rely
too much on computers and too little in common sense. Take a drive through a
modern parking lot. The engineers drew the plans for it from a directly
overhead perspective, see how easy the traffic flows. But to us suckers at
ground level, some of the parking lots seem almost impossible to navigate.

Save us from the modern engineer.
