Thanks , that makes sense . You should go talk to renoughtrumpspam and explain how TD gets on the FP without using bots ! <| sep |> Thanks , but I am really not fond of the Revgear brand , think I will go for tatami instead . <| sep |> Actually , you ' re making a mistake that most people who look back on the Segway hype make . It definitely was not all rosy . Here ' s the Time magazine article everyone loves to show off , Reinventing the Wheel , 8599 , 1866605 , 00 . html . The article as a whole is definitely very positive . But guess which part no one ever likes to mention ? The end of the article where Jeff Bezos sums up his feelings about itBezos is confident that Segway will make a mint selling to the corporate market also like Grove , he is less certain about its consumer prospects . At Amazon , we didn ' t know at first , and nobody knew , whether people would want to buy books online , and the same is true for whether people will want to ride these , he says . Walking is a superb mechanism for getting aroundI don ' t see it being replaced anytime soon . And for long hauls , driving is darn good too . The question is whether there ' s a middle ground , some intermediate zone where these would be better than all the alternatives ? Not exactly the giant endorsement people like to think it was . And also not the same thing we ' ve seen written about Magic Leap .
