There's always a possibility if the marketing is right. But some of the specialized devices aren't really much of a convenience anymore. For instance, we've eliminated the electric can openers since they've perfected the hand-held ones to the point that they're easier and as quick or quicker to use than the electric ones and also don't require much space or consume energy. And after I had to have a pace-maker and could no longer use a chain saw, I realized that for most of the projects that I'd used it, using a manual saw was about as quick.

That thing looks like it would flip over easily, stockticker. If someone decides to do 22 mph on that, he had better be drunk first so that when he hits the pavement, he'll be in a relaxed state and do less damage to himself.

A great idea, but in this house, the rc for the rc would end up in the sofa.
