Well, the original dial and basic pushbutton telephones come to mind as
Intuitive design. There may be other things but they tend to be simple
tools and not complex systems like the Stream. I typically do not have
to much difficulty with remote controls for my TV and such but set up
menus and such for same are a defend story.

Brett,
I'm not sure there's any such thing as "intuitive" design. If a design
were truly intuitive, you would be able to use the device without ever
having seen it, or anything like it, before. Things that are intuitive
to our kids often tend to leave us totally baffled, or at least mildly
confused.
Steve
