John Robb’s suggestion about showing off Segways at theme parks and state fairs reminds me about the first time I ever saw a home computer. I think it was 1978 (so I would have been 12 years old) and my mom took me to the San Diego County Fair. I couldn’t tell you a thing about the fair, because my attention was completely absorbed by the Apple Computer booth that was either in (or adjacent to) the flower show. On display was a first generation Apple II and it was the greatest thing I’d seen.
