Interesting, the news here just announced that Segway is up for sale... -----Original Message----- From: Nick McClure [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 18, 2002 5:48 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: Be the first on your block...
I do recognize that the product has validity. But the environmental argument? Compared to walking, Riding a bike, skateboard, or any non-powered transport is about the same. And with the segway you still have to charge the battery, which means you are using electrical power than may come from unclean sources. ;) But for people who spend all day on their feet, going around large buildings like the Pentagon, or court runners. Things where there is no other way to travel then by foot or other "personal transport device", then yes, they could be very useful. But I don't want my tax dollars paying for it. > -----Original Message----- > From: Andre Turrettini [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, November 18, 2002 5:46 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: RE: Be the first on your block... > > Certainly Nick, I cant argue(with a straight face anyway unless I think I > might win) that it's a replacement or equivalent for a car.
