[Shop-talk] Exciting hi-tech home shop accecssory!

[Bill Gilroy]

I second that!  I have a Roomba and it works great on hard wood floor.
Picks up a bunch of dirt and dog hair.  We run it 3 or 4 times a week and it
keeps the place neat looking.  It is not a substitute for a regular vacuum
but it is a great addition.  I also have a scooba and I want a Dirt Dawg for
the garage.
