Today in boring news that has the potential the change a lot of people's lives in a non trivial way. Skynet is coming. It all starts innocuously.

Edit: Doh, they already make decent ones:

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Jeeze, for 2400 + tax I could have a killer riding mower and enjoy some outside time. Though, the idea of never even thinking about making time to mow grass is tempting....

This is only for one of our schemes for containment. . .

BTW, the company name is iRobot. One of our indoor floor cleaners is called the "Roomba". :-)

I don't need a robot lawn boy. My wife cuts the grass while I'm drinking and playing golf.

Could you share the secret of how you managed that with the rest of us?
