Segway spent half a million dollars on R&D and made a quarter billion in sales? Even with a modest profit, that sounds like a win to me.

Sorry, mean half a billion. :smack:
You have to look at net profits over the whole life of the thing, from concept to now.
I don’t know if that quarter billion is gross, net, or whatever…my point is, just giving a dollar amount in sales does nothing to tell us if it was profitable or not, and if so, by how much.
Tee-hee! I love these–what’s better than a gun you can render completely harmless by sticking your finger over the barrel?
They were also a regular part of my kit back when I played Cyberpunk 2020 (pen & paper cyberpunk RPG). Back then I had no idea that they really existed; it just sounded like an awesome idea **and **damage increased with range. Perfect for a sniper who works at extreme ranges.
