FOSE

At FOSE (a government computer expo in washington dc) there were 4 segways at the Palm booth, and a freekishly short line. It was shorter than the line to get into booths with lots of free stuff. To balance, you have to look up and around at stuff, not down at the controlls. (which is what i kept doing). I found it hard to stop by leaning back, maybe i should have stood farther back on platform. I also don't like the turning thing on the left hand, it doesn't seem to go with the rest of the look/feel.

Oh well, i got to ride a segway (and get free segway stickers--"Join the Evolution" and "My other car is a Segway"), so i can't complain.
