I bought my wife a vacuum cleaner for Valentines Day. I was able to return home from the motel a few days later and we tested it. This Roomba computer controlled "sucker" actually works pretty well, eventually getting to about 95% of each room. It starts in a spiral, and then if it contacts nothing, it makes a beeline until it bumps something. Then it kind of figures out whether it's a furniture leg, wall, etc. My wife watched it like a hawk, sometimes saying things like "not there, you already did that spot". All in all it's pretty neat. It just now finished cleaning around my left foot and scooted back to the wall. Ummm, it came back and nudged my left foot again, but it's gentle and doesn't hurt a bit. Ouch! Dammit! Go away! Arrrrrrgh!

HELP!

I don't know Budman. Obviously a "tongue in cheek description" but a computer running sophisticated AI software seems appropriate to me.
