That's pretty boring to most people. Including me some days. Kryptonite did eventually do the right thing. Should they have acted quicker? Certainly - as early as 1991 it seems. They were actually somewhat fortunate in that they could put a face on the problem in a more traditional way, through the huge Interbike trade show a couple of weeks ago. Theirs was probably the most trafficked booth at the show (albeit not for the reasons they'd choose) but they changed their whole exhibit strategy at the 11th hour and gave a good showing to the dealer community, which as expected, was still pissed off. Having that opportunity to be face-to-face and show off the new locks was certainly fortitous for them and they were smart enough to use it to their advantage. Hell, I blog about trade shows.
