| "I think this is wonderful. Finally we are moving right along to the future. but it is very freaky to. But it will be a nice thing when they are more and more graceful." (Randi Hann 5/26/2006 11:00:55 AM) |
| "I love the idea of a robot nanny! As long as the robot is not a judgmental witch with a suspect history in the California porn industry. Where can I buy one? Or 4. I have 4 nannies to replace!!" (Marge Ingersol 6/4/2006 12:18:27 PM) |
| "This robot is cool..and it rocks" (Danejah 10/2/2006 5:52:38 AM) |
