Scott you seem bitter.

As for the pictures being deleted, at first I thought it was probably the right thing to do but in reality, they'll just get posted somewhere else.  Why drive the traffic away unless Lionel has an issue with it being a sponsor but then they would have to try to have the other forums remove them as well.  It's not OGR's or the folks posting the pictures fault that the catalogs are on the streets already.

I remember 1 year Lionel did an awesome job of holding a catalog release that wasn't full of leaks.  Now it seems there are just too many holes in that dike to keep plugging.

Thank you for the link, Keith!  I certainly missed that one.  I'm not surprised the announcement received very mixed reviews here on OGR Forum.    I did not comment over there to reopen a can of worms.    I can see it has value to anyone who wants to embrace it, young or old.  It you don't want to use the feature, you don't have to.

I suspect it has more to do with the app than the engines themselves since it's compatible with all the previous Bluetooth engines.  Seems the app will "Alexify" your command and send out the appropriate commands.

Thank you, Marty.  What you said makes sense indeed.  It is the app that is communicating with the engine, whether the app takes it's instructions from the touch screen or the mic and voice recognition will be irrelevant to the engine.  Referring to the previous topic Keith linked, it doesn't add to the cost of the engine like some would think.  I recall when you demonstrated the then new LCS over at Patrick H's house a few years ago.  I think a lot of folks are now using it who thought they never would back then.
