Has the MS user interface really changed all that much from '95 to now? That's 9 years without a mind-blowing change. Computing in '95 wasn't all tha t different, except Linux hadn't yet become mainstream.
Is anyone really looking back and laughing at computing circa '94/95? Hardware was slower, Internet access was slower, but it's essentially the same thing.
I took my Segways to New York City this weekend. I rode down Broadway through Times Square in the midst of a huge mob of pedestrians on Friday and Saturday nights. There were no problems whatsoever. I got dozens of positive comments from people around me, and no negativity.
If I ran into you I would deserve a punch in the face, because I would have to be aiming for you and it would have been a first strike.
Be sure you know firsthand what you're talking about before you declare the Segway unfit for sidewalk use. Actually get on and try it in a dense crowd, it's simply not a problem. Until you actually ride this machine, there is no way you can have a good idea of what it is.
