Where do I go to talk to these out-of-touch engineers who design products that are so hard to use?
I just installed a 60" Zenith plasma. Think about it -- THAT product will go in a home with money, right? So they might want to have some kind of programmed remote, right?
Well, Power is not a discrete command. Worse yet, the video inputs are not only not discretes, but you have to wait at least two seconds after pushing INPUT before you can push it again to move on to the next one.
What does that mean? This big, beautiful display is automatically disqualified from being in any but the simplest systems, or systems where gearheads don't mind pushing buttons and waiting (remember AOL and the original PC?).
