Semi-legendary gadget aficionado Phillip Torrone writes in to say that his experiences with the Segway have been uniformly positive:

I've been using a Segway HT for 60 days as of this day (1/30/03). To put it simply—it's been great and the ht has exceeded all expectations, I'm cautiously optimistic that this was a great purchase and look forward to the next 60 days, wohoo! Right now the HT is used 7+ miles per day! About 200 miles so far and saved over $1,100. I've also lost 10lbs with the extra time i have per day as opposed to sitting in traffic.
