Segway on 60 Minutes

Andy Rooney used a Segway to move around at the New York City Auto Show during his segment of 60 Minutes last week.

No offense to dean, but most people don't think it's all that great. I can't imagine anyone giving up a car to ride a segway. All it's going to do is take people who already don't walk enough and make them walk even less. It's most definitely not a scooter...at least a scooter gives u some degree of exercise

Perseus is an unknown quantity at this point
he should combine like four segways to make a Go-kart like thing that goes 60. THen people would buy it
right now, hate to admit it, but it doesnt look like it will "be as revolutionary as the computer"

The Segway will not replace cars, it will replace walking. And of course if you want to walk, you can always walk--you also have the choice to take the stairs instead of the escalator or elevator--which do you normally take and why?
