$The PC's numeric keypad looks like this:
$        7 8 9
$        4 5 6
$        1 2 3
$        0
$On the other hand the phone looks like this:
$        1 2 3
$        4 5 6
$        7 8 9
$          0
$Any idea why the difference:

   Look at your calculator; its keypad looks like this:
        7 8 9
        4 5 6
        1 2 3
        0

   Now think about whether a computer is more closely related to a
phone or to a calculator :-)
