I have to say that Jobs and Bezos accolades meant little to me, but if the guy from 3Com says Segway ain't it, I tend to believe him.

SHT for shortThat's by far the best name for it.

Allow me to translate: "We're about to begin another round of capital-raising, despite the fact that no one wants to buy our current product."

Did anybody bother to ask Kamen? I'm sure he would confirm whether or not IT is Segway.

So, what isn't really Maryann?

Another posting on the ginger-chat site points out that the series of images of the machine on the official Segway.com site changed subtley in June this year. Originally, there was a bloke standing on the now-familiar two-wheeled scooter now, there is one image which appears to be the same bloke floating above the ground. Somebody is smoking some serious crack....... I have visited the site several times over the last few months and ahve never seen any "blokes" floating above the ground.....

So basically, you're saying that the Segwey is the Mary Ann, not the Ginger.
To: Leroy S. Mort
...Human Transporter...
YES!
To: Leroy S. Mort
This still reminds me of the Homer Simpson dream where he's being honored for an invention but wakes up before he can find out what it is.

Reminds me, I'm not quite sure why, of Fabian (Forte, 1950s synthesized rock star.) Oh, I know, all hype, no substance. (With apologies to all millions of Tiger Man fans!)

Segway isn't really GingerWell, it's not Mary Ann, and it's not Gilligan...
Could it be... Tourist Guy???

I suggest they call it the "Segway Human Individual Transporter". It would be easier to remember. SH...
