Never trust a dude who drives around on a Segway.

He almost took me out on said Segeay one Cedia. I leaned my shoulder into him, but he swerved at the last moment.

Website looks be back on line.
I'm Not an engineer, but I play one on TV.
My handle is Tweety but I have nothing to do with the organization of similar name. I just had a really big head as a child so folks called me tweety bird.

I prefer the term “rich man legs” to Segway. I wish I could remember who I first saw coin that term to give them proper credit. I want to say it was Mac, but that may be incorrect.

This is the earliest recorded use of the term.

I saw this goofy looking guy driving around on his rich man legs being escorted by a woman that he made walk by his side while he lazily scooted around the convention.

I was standing at the DBOX booth he came by and asked if they would custom build him a Bentley version of this virtual racing chair (cause Bentleys are widely known for their history on the F1 circuit?). Requesting it out load as if on stage basically shouting "look at me.... I am rich" and declaring his presence.

So the website is back... is it all a storm in a teacup?
This industry is not getting cheaper and cheaper, we're simply convincing ourselves that we have to push the cheapest option to customers.

Oh crap what $300 useless item will Best Buy make you feel like you have to buy with your $150 TV now? Seriously, to this day I am paying the price for hooking up their power centers as existing equipment because some of the outlets go out.

The new website looks like IMO they are on the right track. Now to rebuild the notoriety.
