Howmany TechnoKats got to ride a segway???

[Andy Baker]

Our division of Delphi had it's quarterly "state of the business" meeting today, headed by our division president. He rode in on a Segway and gave us some details on what we are producing for each model (two circuit boards and the operator interface).

So, at the end of the meeting, a few engineers were able to drive it around... of course, it was very cool. The Segway in Kokomo was simply on demonstration from their company for 2 days, their marketing head was here with this model to show it to the Delphi employees in Kokomo.

The TechnoKats executive sponsor at Delphi (Bill Gray) is also the program manager for the Segway business. Bill thought it would be really neat for the TechnoKats to see it, and he rode it into our shop at about 6:30 tonight... we didn't know he was coming over with it, so we were very suprised.

Anyway, it's a blast to ride, that's for sure. As for whether or not it's gonna find a market, I think that time will tell. I sure hope so, since Delphi has alot of electronics in it.
