Welcome to our community!

Yes, welcome. Just a small pond between us. The batteries due out in 2013 should make that trip doable. (Just kidding. I know of no new batteries)

The balance sensor in the segway platform is connected to the corners of your mouth. It is a well documented fact that the more you glide, the more you smile.

Quick training dutch for our american friends

Wilkommen = German for the dutch word "welkom".

For part 2 of the training, see below:

How neat to be communicating globally. The net will be the key to world pease. But for now welcome and let's glide.

Hey Gliding Dutchman,

How did the Americans get in trouble for an Englander using German to welcome a Dutchman?

They (the English) invented the language (English), we just perfected it.

All that fun aside, it is kind of cool to so easily have a multinational conversation.

Shalom
