Robots suck -- and sweep at the same time

Check out this article from Ziff Davis. Pretty interesting. Sounds
like a BOE-bot on steroids!
Ever since Irona, Richie Rich's robotic maid, we've hoped
for the day when robots would eliminate the drudgery from
our lives. Well that day has finally come, at least a
little bit. IRobot's new Roomba robotic vacuum will be generally
available in a few days, for just $200. We got the scoop on the
product, and also a nifty little piece from the CEO of iRobot on just
how robots will change the world. If you hate vacuuming, ironing or
cleaning don't miss our coverage!

Never vacuum your house again! http://eletters1.ziffdavis.com/cgi-

    They showed one on TV today. Looks rather lightweight and flimsy. Not to
    mention if Hammacher Schlemmer and the like are going to sell the thing, its
    got to be Smile.
