[tomato] Sweet 100's grown inside...

Wouldn't it be nice if the Tomato plant could be grown as prolifically as
Kudzu? I think I'll be adding a sweet 100 Cherry Tomato plant alongside my
40" bell pepper plant in my living room. The pepper plant produces nice
bell peppers every month. I've got a large pot and I'll have to nuke some
soil from outside and get the tomato growing with BioVam Mycorrhiza (of
course.) Has anyone out there tried raising a sweet 100 inside?
I have a large southern exposure window that gets lots of sun (when it's
available) and as long as I keep the pots well watered, they seem to grow
very well.
My living room is starting to look like a nursery. We always have a lot of
plants in the house, but maybe this is going too far. As long as the dogs
leave the tomato's alone, it should work out. I like the idea of having
tomatoes available all year round.
The pepper plant seems to be self-pollinating. Are Sweet 100 Cherry Tomato
plants self pollinating? Or, do I have to go over the blossoms with a
brush?
