Who wants to see the Segway on the Market?

I am just wondering how many of you got the new Segway news letter?

Here is a paragraph from it:

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
Segway focused initially on marketing the Segway HT as a productivity tool to businesses. To date we have proven the value of the machine in a number of demanding environments—customers have logged thousands of hours using their machines to enhance productivity; letter carriers deliver up to 70 lbs. of mail several times a day on various terrain; and meter readers cover typical routes in half the normal time. Consumers will soon realize the benefits of the Segway HT in their own lives. Stay tuned for information regarding our consumer launch.

Well anyway who would like to see the Segway on the market?
I am not sure exactly why Dean is waiting this long to release they Segway to the general public??

suburban doesn't mean you can't use one. could go to a few friends houses that live nearby. but i really want to get one for college, pretty quick to get around campus and go around boston
