I tought to add my bit of nostalgy here. At the age of 8 I secured myself one of these mechanical wonders as a combined x-mas/birthday gift from my parents. But make no mistake, it took 3 months of excessive whining while I washed my fathers car 25 times, washed the dishes 110 times and suffered 40 hours of both mental and verbal abuse from my baby brother who I had to babysit. Was it worth it? The Omnibot provided me with a whole year of fun, made me popular among my friends and the most importantly of all the envy of everyone in school. For last x-mas my loved one secured the family yet an other place in the sun and we became the proud owners of Aibo 2. After almost 2 months of time consuming disappointments and one neurotic dog it's time to move on...All I have to do is to find that box on the attic and dust of my faithfull old friend. It's time to show the kids what fun is all about!
No wait...I could always install VMware on my system, use 1000MB of the space on my harddrive to install Windoze and additional 250MB to install IE...This new lightweight OS rocks!:-)
