"This outright hostility toward the thing has me scratching my head."

I have often wondered the same thing. I suspect it's the same hostility that was exhibited at the automobile's invention (not that I think the Segway will gain as much acceptance as the auto).

Some people are either afraid of or just plain hate CHANGE! Or maybe because the initial costs are so high, people think only the rich can afford one, so for some it is a class envy of sorts.

I think these high tech thingys are facinating!

Thanks for the comments Bob.

The tech intests me too. The wheelchair that this guy came up with first is amazing.

Soon as the SF gay community figures out that two boys can ride at the same time, it will get approved.
