Wonder when an automatic one of *those* will appear. Until then, I wouldn't trade my shop-vac for any other appliance in the house. Have no fear! SCOOBA is here! _http://www.hammacher.com/publish/72736.asp_ (http://www.hammacher.com/publish/72736.asp) It's like ROOMBA, only for washing floors--It sucks up the liquid when done. I have been tempted by the vacuum Roomba, but I'm not sure how it would take to our sofa and chairs--they are up off the floor just about as high as the top of the unit, and I can see them getting stuck under the chair or sofa. If they couldn't get under them, it would be pretty pointless to buy one--that's where the dust bunnies live! -- ------------------------------------------------- "Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence and ignorance." ------------------------------------------------- John Wager _john.wager1@xxxxxxxxxxxx (mailto:john.wager1@xxxxxxxxxxx) Lisle, IL, USA
