Re: ALL 23,500 SEGWAYS RECALLED

As I posted to our own team web site, this was a GOOD "business" decision by Segway.........I commented that:

Sure, they could have announced that a software upgrade was avalaibale and that every user "could" go to the web site and download software, etc.

But, forcing people to take their Segways back to a local dealer is a much better decision. It sounds like the problem was identified and QUICKLY dealt with rather than dismissing the risk/cost decision.....
