[QUOTE="HeavenShallBurn, post: 3555757, member: 39593"] Thanks I hadn't seen that one. It does seem to have more uses than the demo video showed. Still skeptical though but I usually am. And I knew there was something wrong with my spelling :lol: Segway-an innovative and interesting device that's ultimately not very practical and won't be widely adopted. Technologically the Segway is both innovative and advanced but as a device it's just not useful to the vast majority of people and not practical except in isolated circumstances. I was commenting that I foresaw basically the same sort of small-scale niche use for the Surface as the Segway rather than broad adoption across the population. They seem to be widespread because you're in one of the specific areas where their market niche is practical. Aside from certain types of metropolitan areas that occupy a tiny geographic area they're utterly useless as a means of transportation that's why only about 24000 have been sold. [/QUOTE]
