I can see that you haven't seen ANY of the bigger business/corporate compuses (sp?) that we've got around here ... NOT to mention some of the distances between buildings on those campii (sp?) whose buildings are not interconnected. Be it State parks, State or Veterans Administration hospitals or a corporate giant like Alcatel - I can see APPLICATIONS for those support personnel who are mobile on their feet a a gadd part of the day.

For the lone, sole individual living in a row, house - I don't see too much practical value (at present as the infrastructure exits in the way of sidewalks and pock-marked roads).

I can hardly wait to try one myself ...

Nice...

I work for GE...our grounds are about as big as they get.

We have something for that already...motorized carts[that are cheaper and carry more occupants].

Yaawwnnn...

...and uh Spy Catcher...that time quote says the Department of Defense [who in the DOD] wanted to send them out to the SpecFor...not that Spec For was interested.

They'll be producing 40,000 a month by next year and won't be able to keep up with demand from just corporations for the industrial model at $8,000 a piece. And for perspective, the $3000 consumer model is about the same price as a PC when PC's were flying off shelves. People shouldn't underestimate the disposible income of even "poor" Americans when it comes to "practical entertainment." I bet every middle class family will want one to start with and share between dad and the kids.
