Over the last three years many of us 'embraced' the Segway HT (HUMAN TRANSPORTER). But it now appears that the Segway is to be referred to as a PT (Personal Transporter). Is it now 'politically correct' to refer to our HT's as PT's as several new media reports are doing, or are the 'older' HT's still to be call Human Transporter.
Surely, the intent is NOT to make a confusing reference to both! Can we have both a HT and a PT simulteanously without disturbing nature?
Chrysler has a PT. Does this mean next year they will come out with a HT?
Maybe Segway Inc. figured out that Personal Transporter implies more 'in tune' with your Segway, like an emotional relationship. Whereas the HT was just a silly transportation 'tool'.
I can't wait until next year. I hear that the new ST's (Sky Transporters) will eliminate the nusiance tires and the ST will hover 10' over the ground. I heard Segway Inc. is already lobbying the FAA for permission to cross interstate highways and be able to park them airborne. You see, that is why they are phasing out the kickstand, it will be obsolete...
