Lee, you better patent that idea quick. If they can make a robot that knows where to vacuum, a self-propelled suitcase is not far behind.

At first I thought, "32 inch"! They should have to have a truck license for than. Then it hit me. That will be the next fad in luggage - self propelled. I can see all those using SP rolling luggage using the excuse, "I have to have a self propelled bag because I have weak wrists and it hurts them to drag a rolling suitcase.

Lee you might be on to something. Luggage not just with wheels but a small electric motor that allows you to walk behind it and steer it not push it just like a self propelled lawnmower.

We might even get innovative and put a little chip in your belt and have it automatically follow you. Or give you a hand-held controller, and you can have it proceed you where you can watch it.

Terry -- fear not. Apple is already working on an iphone app to teach you how to control your remote control luggage.

Lee, while you're at it, could you design it with a seat on top and a GPS? That way once you arm-wrestle it off the train, you could plug in the hotel's address, hop on, and off you go...
