Coolest wheelchair I ever saw on TV was gyro stabilized, four wheels (I 
think) and would climb stairs.  It was quite an amazing thing to see it 
go up a staircase.  Dead-on steady.  Very cool use of technological 
capability.  It could go around balanced on two wheels and appeared to 
be extremely stable.
This Wheelchair was made by Dean Kamen(sp) the inventor of the Segway.  The 
chair preceded the toy by a couple of years.  If I have to be in a chair that's 
the one I am going for. I have started saving my spare change now.  The chair 
does place the person at 6 foot when on two wheels and is nimble enough to 
maneuver around a kitchen or basketball court on 2 wheels. 




Time enough for sleep in the grave.
