TMCC...Wow this is cool. What else ya got?
Legacy...Wow even cooler. Great features! Wow this is complicated and pricey. I just wish they'd make something simple and easy to operate.
LC... Wow this is so simple to use it's great! Can they make separate engines! I wanna run more trains from the remote. And I want individual controls for bell and whistle volumes and some of that Legacy stuff.
Universal Remote and Bluetooth...Wow now I can run 3 engines. Can we get it to operate switches and accessories?
LC+... Wow engines sold separately! But I really want to run these on my TMCC layout with a controller i already have.
LC+2.0... Wow TMCC in a LC engine Wow this is cool!.
This is all tongue in cheek but it is sort of the evolution of it. Fact is that LC has provided Legacy with Bluetooth running and variable whistle/bell pitches. I just always found it funny that those who complained that Legacy was too complicated always want to add more complexity to the LC setup that was the answer to keeping it simple.
Great observation. I think we see this in other technology-based industries as well. Customers will always request/demand new features without a commitment to pay for let alone use those new features. It's a real danger for the supplier.
I see it all the time in my industry.....companies buy expensive, complex high-end software to run their businesses, request customizations to make it work exactly how they want, and then use 20% of the features they said they wanted. Many would've been better off buying and using Excel and QuickBooks.
