Charlie bought me a Roomba (iRobot) a couple of weeks ago. What a neat surprise! Although I like it a lot better than poor Porsche the dog does. She heads for the door the minute "Bridget" starts up. The cats, after watching it closely for awhile, now just ignore it. Bridget starts her vacuuming duties at 10:00 each morning, picks up the accumulated cat and dog hair, bits of fluff, stray dog food and then heads back to her docking station to wait for the next day. Each evening I empty the container of enough cat hair to build another cat! Of course, having 6 cats might be the cause of that. The funniest thing was when she accidentally shut herself into the bathroom. I can picture her vacuuming her little robot heart out, trying to return to her docking station, and finally expiring from a dead battery. Almost makes you cry.
The next "i" in my life is a new iMac computer. Been a PC girl since my first computer, lo these many years ago. I was already hooked on my iPhone and iPad (even have an iPod Shuffle) so this seemed like a logical progression when I needed a new computer. I have to admit that I'm loving some of it but the learning curve is what's causing the "iHeadache". I have the PC sitting beside me for emergency use only, but am trying to muddle through with the Mac.
I'll keep you posted.
