I wasn't particularly enthused about the Segway when I first started reading the "It" hype. So far, aside from seeing a few on TV, I've only seen one "in the wild" -- Atlanta cops were using them to patrol the streets downtown during Dragon*Con last year. But when I read the above comment, I almost fell out of my chair laughing. :) "Popsicle on a stick," indeed!
