Slashdot just ran
this article, referencing another
article (as Slashdot does), recounting the first impressions of the likes of Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos when they were both shown the Segway, or, as it was known back then, "Ginger," or even just It.
Interesting read. Thought I'd share it, for anyone who doesn't regularly refresh Slashdot, every five minutes....
