This forum is useless

The same company makes another robot that washes off muddy paw marks; it uses your avatar as well - hope you trademarked the image!

Oh sweet! I can't resist this challenge...

Within the essence of the vacuum cleaner is therein represented the "me" interacting with my world. The engine's hum like the constant energy we all give off in living our lives - the slow molecular decay of all things, returning to the abyss - the toil of moving the upright handle; also, is not unlike the daily toil of living in the moment, shackled to the mundane triviality of day to day life. Yes, I think it has much significance; needing energy like I do, my neighbor does, it serves its purpose - for what are any of us without some direction? Fortunately; for Mr Vacuum Cleaner, he was intentionally created for a purpose where we must find our own. Consuming, toiling and taking part in the great dance of the physical realm.

Words fail, don't they

Much 2 0ften, alas. But we can still enjoy the forum to chit chat. About chat; why do we not have chat like real Philosopher ? Everybody can talk, no-body has to listen. Just the normal routine ?

PS U

My cousin has one of those... fantastic. It was hard to believe my eyes when I saw it in action. I'd like one too. (I think Phoenix has one also). If I remember, there are two kinds - but I'm fuzzy on the difference.

I'll think about getting one when they come out with a model that also picks stuff up off the floor (like Alex's clothes, shoes, cds, books, guitars, younameit). I'd even pay a bit more for that.

The Japanese have one of those - it's the most amazing thing, I saw it being tested at a factory on Mount Fuji. Not sure if it's for sale yet.

What was the company called, Nippon Express ?

This forum is becoming more useful all the time

No, it's Fuji Fanuc, an affiliate of Fujitsu. They mostly specialize in robots for factories but they test all other kinds of applications as well.

I think that Pepijn Sweep was being humorous there

Well you just provided a brilliant example of the utility of this forum - a view I also share

seems their form of moderation was a bit heavy-handed...
