A side note to Jane: I am surprised to learn that you were alive 50 years ago. You certainly don't look your age. That is assuming that your WAI wasn't taken over a decade ago.

I read the Segway in the title as well and, after viewing the video, I thought of how sometimes I use the word, Segway, to mean human transporter. That said, I understand what you are saying and did at the time I made the post. It's just that so much history, scientific developments and discoveries, communications, and lifestyle changes have happened in 50 years...
To the aside: I checked that WAI thing and it was 2006. I was very excited that day for the game reveal - just as I am every year. So that's kind of what I look like now. Perhaps a 2008 version would be a good thing. I'm still blond though so be warned.
