The opening segway with Dean Jagger from the present into the past and the
closing segway returning again to the present are in my opinion some of the
finest creative film work ever shot.

I didn't know that rode Segway's back then! :-)

It uses the same electronic stabilization of a dynamically unstable
system strategy as is used on the F-16.

You gotta admit, it was one hellofa good scam. Take a $500 electric scooter,
replace a couple wheels with "gee-wiz" controls, sell it for $5000, and let
the "media" tell everyone what a great idea it is.

Oh, yea, and when the battery goes dead, you do a face plant on the
pavement.
