Well, I'd like to think Dean Kamen copied my idea, and converted into a life size model which he sells and I make lots of money for each one he sells... But that's not the case. LegWay is only about 1 month old, while Segway is > 1 month old. LegWay (...) (23 years ago, 19-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics)

Can anybody make it clear for me; what came first? The Legway or the Segway ? For those who don't know what I'm talking about: Legway -> (URL) -> (URL) looks funny.
