I'm an electronics engineer by background and I tend to agree with Jeff. ESPECIALLY on these angles. What we have ehre is the technological equivalent to flying a jetplane with a Commodore64 joystick. Sure it works now, but for how long?From a TECHNICAL standpoint, there are numerous elemental issues that I mentioned in my own comments this morning. I would compare it to doing anthroscopic surgery with a McDonalds coffee stirrer spoon. It'll DO the job, so long as you don't know what a PROPER tool looks like. Or more accurately, like running the Lex off a Lionel ZW transformer. Sure it's the "best of the best" ... but is it REALLY up to the particular task? After all, the SAME technology carborne which is to be used to keep trains apart is the micrometer by which the PROPER station announcements are maintained on "new tech" trains. The *SAME* ... Dunno about you, but as this crap gets rolled out, I'll PAY for a cab thank you. :( |
