Is That Your Final Decision?

Yes. After my evalution yesterday, going ahead
and purchasing the iBOT is my final decision.

Most impressive yesterday:

I went up and then down a very steep hill but I
stayed level in my seat. I wouldn't even attempt
to go up it in my manual as I would have flipped
over backwards. Going down in the manual would also
be out of the question as I would lose control. It
was strange. Strange, but very good. My daughter is
reading over my shoulder, and she said she was very
nervous when she first saw the hill and heard that I
was going to go up it. The iBOT went up it with
no problem at all. With the seat staying level, it
was such a strange feeling. Normally a hill like that
would get my heart pumping, even if someone were there
to help me.

Also, I went from the sidewalk, over a grassy parking strip
with large protruding tree roots, and then down a curb.
All of that in like, I don't know, maybe 10 seconds. And
it wasn't as jarring as I remember it being at the test
drive. It was so weird. I'm sorry, I don't have better
words to describe it other than "so weird".

But probably the thing I liked the best was being in
Balance Function. I went to the Starbucks counter to
get my daughter a drink, and I was eye level to the
people behind the counter. That was, uh, bizarre.

Strange, weird, bizarre. My experiences with the iBOT
yesterday were all of those things. I have mixed emotions
because it was wonderful to do those things, but it was
also a bit shocking because I realized that I've lived
for the past 28 years without those luxuries that normally
aren't even thought of as luxuries.
