Robot Floor Vac
by Roger Barnette
We're a long way from "Rosie" of the Jetsons
version of the future, but home robots are
becoming a reality.
The "Roomba Floor Vac Robot" is at approximately
$200, a strangely affordable new item. Its
available through the Sharper Image catalog
and according to it, "vacuums and sweeps
automatically -- even when you're asleep
or out of the house."

It sounds really interesting. Next we will be
looking for even more rare items; something to
pick up Legos or scrub a kitchen floor.
Please share your neatest gadgets, and we'll
be sure to pass them on.
