I was turned off by all the seqway bashers' attitudes.
Same here. Most have been real simpletons, near as I can tell, bashing for the silliest of reasons.
For some reason things that are different bring out the idiot and juvenile in some folks, and the need to feel superior.
When they first came out, dealmac was the coffee klatch corner, and the stupidest "predictions" about the Segway were made from pedestrians being run over by hordes of attacking Segway riders, to Segway jacking, apparently to be deserved by the rider. Some people need little impetus to hate.
It would be cool to play with one for awhile, but I don't think I could get any kind of utility out of it, for the money it costs.
Maybe if I lived in a more suburban or sedate area.
