My Segway HT "Month-iversary"

Phillip M. Torrone writes "I didn't realize it, but I've been using a Segway HT for one month as of 01/04/03. To put it simply--it's been great and the HT has exceeded all expectations, I'm cautiously optimistic that this was a great purchase and look forward to the next 30 days. You can read, see and hear about my experiences here: http://www.bookofseg.com." I have yet to see one of these in real life, but they do look fun.

    Before you ask: no, I don't live in the boondocks. I live in a metropolitan area (Tampa, FL, US).

    Sorry, if anyplace worth going is 3 1/2 miles away, you're probably in the boondocks. And if anyplace more interesting than a gas station and a grocery store is further away than 15 miles, it's a high probability.

    Sure, you could probably plead "suburbia" instead of "sticks", but that's certainly not a "metropolitan area."

    At first i thought this thing was completely useless and lame, but then i watched this guys videos and i learned that THIS IS THE LAMEST THING EVER!!!!!!! You could get a lot better stuff for three grand then a lifting jack with rubber tires. I wonder if this thing comes with the dildo for your anal cavity because the guy who makes these is giving it to you straight up the butt. 3 grand for this!!! AND YES IT IS A GLORIFIED SCOOTER I DONT CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS. I would say you will probably see generics with a slightly modified design but i dont see a market for thse so it would be too much of a gamble, its amazing what scientists do with their money while people are dying every day from disease. Also for some reason that guy looked really gay riding on this thing (no offense to the guy) it is probably just the shape or something.
