>>> he's a gadgeteer with flair and skill and has a lot of contagious enthusiasm but that's about his limit.<<<

And I surmise your limit is casting aspersions on guys with talent, skill and engineering expertise, that is clearly above the ordinary.

Makes you feel better about your little life does it?

As a QA engineer it's actually my JOB to tell people like Kamen when they're head is too far in the clouds and they need to come back to reality. I'm not casting aspersions on him, I'm telling the truth, he's a really smart guy with technology who has no ability to wrap his head around market nitches and market necessities. With Segway he invented a nifty gadget that was over teched and subsequently overpriced and is doomed to market failure. The fact that he never stopped to ask "what happens if the batteries run dry while somebody is driving it" shows I'm right. I never said the guy wasn't above the ordinary, but every man has limits, successful men know their limits and hire people that have strengths in those areas and listen to them closely.

Now why don't you calm down, or does going off on people after grossly misreading their post make you feel better about your little life?
