True - it's a pain if you have to scroll far enough to get to a state that begins with a letter toward the end of the alphabet. OTOH, most lists will get you in the ballpark by hitting the first letter of the state you want. I can get to Wisconsin usually with three taps of the "W".

Another *very* common mistake is making the user select their state
from a long drop-down list instead of just typing in the two-letter
abbreviation. Jakob Nielsen pointed out this was bad web design over
TWELVE YEARS AGO and still only a few get it right.
