I'm not sure how to do the quote thing, but when Sue provided the information about the ADA/Segway and the link, she DID say that it was the Segwow site and not the Segway site. I have found this thread to have had argumentative tones which isn't what this board is about. It's about helping each other, and talking about "what if's" and thinking out loud about a situation that's helpful to brainstorm. No one wants to see rights eroded that we have all fought so hard to achieve, but I also like to play devil's advocate and put myself in another's shoes, even another's shoes that are as large as Mickey's. I also assisted Disney in the ramp/backing-up issue as the manufacturer of my chair ( permobil) states never to back up due to the power base of the chair. I am also unable to back into a lift type bus due to ventilator hoses and other equipment that could get stuck in the lift ( just like a ripped pocket!) but as Lisa mentioned it did take years to get the policy amended and many "discussions" with bus drivers and bus supervisors. We spoke....they listened. I took the time out of my family vacations to educate people because I felt it was necessary for all wheelchair users to be able to operate their equipment safely and that's probably some of what needs to happen with the Segway. Just as another thought...., when someone first posts to the boards I don't feel the warm fuzzies when the new person jumps in and challenges everyone who answers their posts. I expect that we will try as always to have a reasonable discussion and understanding of each other's perspectives and not a challenge that we should all read up on the law or that we should "know better". I also agree that something is lost when a discussion is in print only, but just think about it. If you first meet a group of people, how do you want to present yourself? ---Kathy
