OT.. 30 minutes ago I just got to meet Dean Kamen and got to ride the commercial version of the Segway "Ginger". They are in my state trying to pass legislation. They have already got it passed in 14 states and are moving way ahead of schedule. I was totally blown away with the demonstration and even MORE blown away when I got to ride it. I could go on for hours about the response of this machine but don't have time. I also asked him about stock and business (of course) in a not to pushy way. The stock is coming public within the next year and the demand for these units is unreal. Also Segway is just a generic name for the technology not "Ginger". This technology (gyro propulsion) will be found in many more products and revolutionize many platforms. Legislation is moving quickly and I think my state will be added to the list soon. Had a lengthy talk with the lawyers too. If anyone is interested you can PM me... Ron Dior

Note the acceleration of prices relative to other components. Get a little recovery and everyone rushes to raise prices.
