Instead of dodging bicyclists, rollerbladers and skateboards, students might be lucky enough to run into Segway scooters while out on the Quad Wednesday afternoon.

Members of a Microsoft promotional team will be zipping around near the Illini Union on Segway scooters Wednesday to promote a new product called “One Note,” said Microsoft spokesman Ben Sturner.

Sturner said the team will be handing out samples of One Note that are valued at $50.

One Note is a new note taking and management program Microsoft is releasing to run with Microsoft Office. According to One Note’s product Web site, the program offers a way to record notes from lecture, organize and share them, and publish them online. One Note also can help students create class presentations and lesson outlines.

“It’s a whole new way to take notes – the three-ring binder for the 21st Century,” Sturner said. “We chose to come to Illinois because it’s a great, technological, computing campus.”
