By all accounts you’re right. He used to Segway past our house all the time on his way to the Apple store downtown, and the staff there seemed to think he was a pretty nice guy.
But there can only be two reasons for Woz to say what he did about this Ahmed kid. One of those doesn’t speak well for his intentions.
When Segway came out, he started a Polo team for Segway.
Shortly after that I introduced him to a friend. Beautiful, Blonde and makes mens heads turn.
They were engaged for a short time but, ultimately the whole Beauty and The Beast thing belongs in story books.
Came to her house one night and he was demonstrating Segways. Helped my Dad learn how to ride and afterward, Woz and I loaded four of them things into his Prius.
He had it down to a science and we got em in just fine.
I said something funny about the Prius/Segway thing but, forget what was and he couldn’t stop laughing.
Just a great guy.
