It's true that the Ibot is quite pricey, but the money required to retrofit a house to be liveble/accessable for a wheelchair-bound person would be at least that much. With the Ibot, you don't have to make so many modifications and you have the freedom to go places you've never gone before that the walking take for granted. Plus there is the added dignity of being able to talk to other people eye to eye that is priceless.

When I was a child I was restricted to a wheelchair for quite a while as reconstructive surgery was done on one of my legs. I can still remember the day I was finally allowed to at least get up and use crutches. I could go only a few inches at a time at first, but felt as if I were flying.

Spend a good week or two in a wheelchair without the use of your legs sometime (no cheating on anything! no walking period!).
Only then can anyone truly understand.
