A little bit annoyed now...

After about five weeks of flawless performance, last Wednesday was the first time it needed a reboot. With this muscular condition I have, I can't take the Segway apart by myself. Fortunately I was with my work colleagues and they helped out.

Today it happened again -- this time my friendly taxidriver helped reboot my machine. But twice in a week is a little annoying.

I guess it would be very hard philosophically for Segway to include a reset switch. On one hand they have to show the world how rocksolid reliable and stable the machine is. How can they say that, and then say "Oh yeah, and just in case the machine goes wonky, we have a little reset switch hidden away..."

I also liked the idea of the reboot pin tucked away inside the power socket housing.

If anyone has any tips on reducing the incidence of Segway coma, please post your suggestions. I am going to always shut down from power assist mode and see if that makes any difference... who knows?
