The title "grab a dictionary" has a rebuttal quality to it. Maybe he wasn't? (and I'm a "her")

FYI - The quote I took was from the New York Times (to which the original/. article referred.)
I'm replying to it. I'm not in agreement with the
quote "Nothing has happened at the level of the pedestrian to improve transportation since we invented the sneaker..." I thought this would be obvious.
From NY Times Online:
"Nothing has happened at the level of the pedestrian to improve transportation since we invented the sneaker," Mr. Kamen said. "We think if you could integrate the Segway technology into cities it would be a universal win for everybody."

"Nothing has happened at the level of the pedestrian to improve transportation since we invented the sneaker..." Really. Firstly, once on wheels, can the driver be considered a "pedestrian?" Secondly, what about bicycles, scooters, and the like. I'm sure there is some incredible technology going on there, but the arrogance seems much more powerful.
The 4400 _is_ svga / 800x600. I have 2. Got one off of ebay for $450 and one for $800 something through tekgear.
I hacked one of mine into a monocle, and left the other intact. Hacking into a monocle as many, including myself, have done is easy. (I have instructions on www.melmcgee.com)
