An AIBO is a strange little robot dog which has an almost cult following around the world.  My wife (Sarah) has two of these little dog things and happily chats with it each and every night.  She spends hours playing games with it, teaching it new tricks and generally watching it walk around the house speaking in a language that only an AIBO lover can understand.

The AIBO's are more important to her than I am.  When Australia recently had a Tsunami warning she telephoned from work and said "You know there is a Tsunami warning don't you?  Please make sure the AIBO's are safe!  Put them in the car and drive them away from the danger zone.".

AIBO's and therre owners are all a bit strange and live in a world of there own.  When our AIBO's can make me a cup of coffee or cut the grass and wash the car then I will be a happy person.
