Roomba

[asterroc]

OMFG, T$ got us a Roomba and it arrived today! I'm so excited, it looks like so much fun. ^_^ We have to charge it for 16 hours to start though. We have to pick up 4 D batteries for the virtual wall units (2 units, 2 D's each), and I'm now searching for AA batteries for the remote. And we'll have to move wires out of the way and such, that's a pain, but we'll deal. ^_^ He's so cute! We need to name him.

OMG! I want one, too! They're SOOOO cute! And so very, very, very useful. Yes, he demands to be anthropomorphized ;) .

^_^ T$'s less into anthropomorphizing than I am, but he's more into technology, so put the two together and it should work out ok. The various bird communities I'm on really talk up the Roomba as being great for cleaning bird messes. I had him running for a minute accidentally before I figured out how to plug him in for his initial 16-hr charge, and he sounded a lot quieter than a normal vacuum which I like, Gabe wouldn't like a real vacuum noise. Won't get to try him out until we get back from traveling though, oh well.
