Left, right -- up/down -- do we not have forebrains anymore?

My P3 hasn't arrived yet (although since my CC has been billed, I suspect it 
won't be long).  I'm trying to figure out from the blather if this control 
direction will be bothersome.  Or, if I will somehow be able to adapt and not 
start grumbling that up is down and down is up and north is south and ... ;-)

Like this selectivity thing.  Why isn't WIDTH intuitively -- turn it right to 
get more?  The control is even marked that way to minimize confusion ... why 
SHOULD it be some other way?

The buttons to open, close, and minimize windows are on opposite sides in 
Windows vs. OS X.  The application menu bar is in a different place.  I have 
not complained to Apple that they screwed their software up, since the 
locations were "non-intuitive" for the first 2 seconds.  :-)
