Cute is a good description. But I did not think it was cute until I seen it's size. Then it became 'the cutest'. maybe I find the small size non threatening. Is this the size of robots that people will take to their hearts? It is about the same size as the Furby toy that was very popular. And the character Gizmo from the movies. Will the first popular robot be one that sits on your desk and can find your pencil and hand it to you? Bill {Original Message removed}
