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 was not strickly based on Segway, but on the idea of balancing on two wheels (also used by Segway).

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 -> http://perso.freelug.org/legway/LegWay.html
Segway -> http://www.segway.com

Both looks funny.
The Segway is too expensive for me, at this time...
Legway looks more like something that I can make a modified copy of :)
