Or the great Apple Newton reference:

Kearney: Hey Dolph, take a memo on your Newton: beat up Martin.
[Dolph writes "Beat up Martin" which the Newton translates as "Eat up Martha"]
Bah! [throws Newton]
Martin: [being bonked on the head] Ow!

The Segway was on another Simpsons tonight. It was the one were Homer starts the Spring Shield security company and in the town hall Kent Brockman rides off on a Segway.

Don't diss the Newton, at least your not enslaved to graffiti

Good old 1984, you can watch the oringinal commercial at
www.apple-history.com

Greatest commercial ever made

Frazier and Segway
I was channel surfing last night (12 am) and
saw a rerun of "Frazier" with a Segway in it!
Daphne was riding the Segway with Niles
chasing after her.

I don't normally watch Frazier so I
don't know when the original show aired.

Boy, those Segway PR group is every where.
